Lantenal will dispense tokens of esteem for hatchlings to hand out to non-adult friends, but if a hatchling has the token and speaks to Lantenal, he doesn't do the attuning to allow the bearer to go to the Peak of Storms.
(Exact process: I spoke to Lantenal, received 5 tokens, handed one to another hatchling, and when the hatchling spoke to Lantenal he only repeated his default text. The hachling couldn't use the portal to reach the Peak.)
