The Church of Dawn
The Church of Dawn, more commonly known as 'The Church', is the predominant religion amongst mortals within the Xeador Kingdom. Due to the nature of Gods in the world, it is a religion that takes precedent over worshipping an actual god and has followers that believe in the Sun and its arrival as a natural power, greater than regular Gods. People within the Church recognize the Gods but don't think they should worship them as they are just people like them. The sun is the only thing that can save them from the Night Creatures of Xeador.
The Church represents peace above all else, worshippers live their life following a strict code of no violence (unless for self-defence).
The Church is actually created by Strahd to control the mortals within the towns. He created the basis of the religion and its testaments to make sure that the people that followed it were more peaceful/docile, and would just wait for the sun to come up instead of trying to take the fight to the Vampires. When the Church has a strong following, the people of the town don't try to fight the night creatures, but instead just try to hide until Dawn.
However, the Church is the only religious group in Xeador that can create Holy Water and consecrate items.
The symbol is of a long scarlet red banner with a golden sun peeking over a desolate landscape in the middle.

Strahd von Sarovich secretly founded the Church of the Dawn while establishing the human towns of Xeador in an attempt to keep the humans under control, like livestock. The Church teaches its followers to hide during the night and wait until the sun rises so that creatures like Vampires and Werewolves are forced to leave. They are taught to not fight at night and it makes it easier for the Vampires to take their pick of cowering livestock.
