The Dawnwalkers are a collection of Writ worshipping clergy, who are essentially a travelling adventurer’s guild that do not take payment in return for their services. They travel the land actively aiding those who are in need. They are so highly respected that simply flashing the badge of a Dawnwalker can earn the complete trust of someone, or a night in an inn with a bowl of food for free. To earn this trust, Dawnwalkers take great care to watch their brethren as closely as they watch for evil outside the faith.
