Neonates
A neonate is any dragon of less than fifty years age. In draconic society, neonates are seen as sacrosanct by all but the most immoral fiends. It is considered the height of evil to murder a neonate, and immoral to even harm one.
A neonate will typically be raised by its Guardians, as appointed by the now deceased parents. At hatching, a neonate is around a metre in length, and has babe-like proportions. Flight comes early (2d6 years age), but full physical strength will not be reached for some time. Language is attained at a few months age, and by a year a dragon will have the cognitive capacity of an adult human.
In game terms, a neonate starts with Sophis Soma and Pneuma of 1.
Every nine years from birth add +1 to Sophis until it reaches its adult level.
Every twelve years from birth add +1 to Soma until it reaches its adult level.
Every fifteen years from birth add +1 to Pneuma until it reaches its adult level.
Draconic education starts young: Guardians will select a lifepath for a hatchling from the time it is born. A hatchling might even select its own lifepath within its first year, though most will follow what is selected for them.
