The Order of the Dawn Organization in Eien | World Anvil

The Order of the Dawn

The Order of the Dawn is a powerful human-centric organization on Eien, with its base of operations situated in the nation of Kejas. Operating from the shadows, the Order and it's membership is shrouded in mystery, making it challenging for outsiders to uncover its true intentions and extent of influence. Their tactics often involve manipulating politicians and religious leaders to achieve their goals. Bribery, blackmail and assassination are common methods used by the Order to assert control.

One of the defining and unsettling aspects of the Order's ironfisted control of Kejas is their routine enslavement of other sentient species on Eien. This practice has garnered the country a reputation for ruthlessness and oppression. By subjugating other species, the Order's aim is to consolidate human dominance and assert control over the world's resources and power structures. Whether a Kejasi noble or priest is aware of who the Order is - the social structures in Kejas have ensured that even the ignorant among the wealthy will work in the Order's favor.

A central tenet of the Order's ideology is their strong belief in human supremacy and their ambition to assert humanity's dominion over all aspects of life on Eien, particularly magic. They view magic as a force that should be controlled and harnessed solely by humans, seeking to bring it under their exclusive control. This perspective might be fueled by a desire for absolute power and a conviction that only through this dominance can humanity achieve greatness on a global scale. They have a sincere hatred for the sucerans, seeing that long-lived species as arrogant and past their prime.

To legitimize their vision and actions, the Order looks back to the Ancient Sovathy, a militant and formidable species from thousands of years prior. The Sovathy's historical legacy and the ruins of their powerful civilzation serve as an inspiration and model for the Order's aspiration to be a great global power. They seek to emulate the Sovathy's influence, strength, and dominance over other species, albeit with a human-centric approach. To that end, modern Sovathy are one of the most stigmatized species in Kejas and are nearly always found in slavery if they are found at all.

Operating in secrecy and with a deeply ingrained desire for control and supremacy, the Order of the Dawn presents a significant threat to the other species and nations of Eien. Whether the Order will achieve its lofty goals or be thwarted by opposing forces remains to be seen, but their actions undoubtedly have far-reaching consequences.


Secrets of the Alfather

Unknown to all but the most senior members of the Order is the true nature of the Order's function. Their dedication to the ancient technology goes far beyond simple admiration - they've done it before. Before the The Reckoning War War, a similar organization existed within the Sovathy Empire with near identical ideologies. This organization, it's name lost to time, also sought to manipulate magic and the Ethereal to bring down the great The Barrier and herald the return of the Alfather to Eien.

Keeping this secret, even from their loyal members, is the responsibility of the central Scribe of the Order; the mastermind and the one who maintains communication with the other Scribes of the @Alfather.
