The Order of Dawn

When the Crimson Court was established, a number of Somans fled their vampire overlords and settled in the sympathetic fledgling republic of Raevo. These dissidents settled in a fort outside of Castalore, where they formed a militia fully committed to the destruction of the undead and the liberation of Soma. Thus, was the Order of Dawn formed.
To call the Order fanatics would not be out of line. From childhood, each member is taught to hate the undead. Every such monster has been studied and dissected; their weaknesses carefully cataloged.
While few in number, each member of the Order is trained and battle-ready. They are prepared to give their lives for their cause, and no vampire can expect mercy from them.
Currently, the Order is led by General Artemios Dulka.

Besieging the Order

Such was the ferocity of the Order of Dawn that even the vampire nobility was wary of them. One story of their mettle comes from recent years when the Grand Duke ordered the massacre of a village for failing to pay the correct taxes. Before it could reach the village, the Soman platoon was ambushed by a contingent of the Order of Dawn, who had somehow gotten wind of their plans.
In a fit of rage, the Grand Duke forgot the village and sent a Soman brigade led by vampires to attack the Order's stronghold. The vampires surrounded the fortress and laid a punishing assault for three days and three nights. Though the battle was desperate, the Order prevailed, slaying every single one of the soldiers and the undead.
A few days later, the Grand Duke received a letter from the Order's General Dulka. It contained but one line: "Send more vampires."
