Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It glows with some form of arcane energy.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.

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.

Dewiniaeth is a brilliant little sorceress. Unfortunately, she knows it. She is forever experimenting with new spells, and one of her misfires is responsible for several FitzGibbon hatchlings never reaching maturity, including herself. She views this as merely a minor setback.
