Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Ever since it hatched, the sky has been full of very dark clouds.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing. It’s learned to use its new wings quickly and you now have a hard time keeping it on the ground.

Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it typically marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.

Sturm is one of the Frozen Ones, young dragons that slid into a hole too small for their elders to enter and found themselves lost in the Lower Ice. He and his fellows never had enough room to grow up, and now wander the places Under the World half-mad, whispering secrets only their kind know.
