With Selûne's intervention, the two Force Dragons received a reasonably satisfactory return.
Aaron could tell that the elderly Force Dragon Faenor was not particularly satisfied with the outcome. He had merely respected Aegir's choice, and as Aegir had said, as a young adult dragon, he had reached the age when he had to become independent, no matter what.
Dragon scholars had studied this in Cormyr's Book of Dragons: any dragon between birth and five years old was called a "wyrmling." Wyrmlings already had a sense of territory. If they hatched on their own without a dragon-or a human or some other creature-to care for them, they would begin searching for concealed, easily defended lairs. If they had a dragon caring for them and an existing lair, they would still try to claim a space within it that belonged to them alone.
As wyrmlings grew into young dragons, then juveniles, and finally young adults, their desire for their own territory grew stronger. Once a dragon reached young adulthood, it would leave the relatives or mentors caring for it under any circumstances and establish a lair of its own.
It was worth mentioning that wyrmlings and young dragons usually had protectors. Among good dragons, nearly every dragon had a "protector," who might be a parent, an elder dragon, or a hired mentor. This was a vital part of good dragons' social structure. The relationship would last for decades before ending, leaving behind a lifelong friendship.
Surprisingly, many similar relationships existed among evil dragons as well. Evil dragons had no "altruism," but they understood to some extent their role in perpetuating their species and regarded such relationships as transactions. Powerful evil dragons
