The New Dawna Cult

== The New Dawna Cult ==
The New Dawna Cult is a main antagonistic faction in the Raider vs the Militia timeline. 
The cult is a small militia force/primitive cult led by Brendan Dante, who followed Cooper's ideology and led themselves to war against the Resistance.
== History ==
After the Militia's disbandment, the cult formed from Dante, who was following Cooper's methods and philosophy. The remnants of Cooper's loyalists formed an alliance with Dante and began moving to South Carolina to avoid the law and any Resistance patrol.
They took over Fort Sumter and called it "Dawna Island" or simply "Dawna" as their new home. There, the cult managed to regain their lost firearms and followed a primitive lifestyle while under Cooper's ideology of culling the weak.
== Background ==
The New Dawna cult live in a primitive lifestyle, wearing tattered clothes and animal skins and using tools and weapons, such as bows and arrows, tomahawks, swords, and clubs. They also utilized a strong form of guerrilla warfare to outwit and outgun their Resistance rivals in combat. Despite their strong hate of technology, they're seen using guns and explosives (such as bomber vests) to gain some tactical superiority. They also stole a military Humvee and modified them in their own way.
The group appears to dislike and distrust each other due to the fact that each member believed that Carl's way is flawed and traitorous, but they chose to work together out of necessity and fear of losing their war against the government. They're well-organized, well-armed, and well-equipped with a large arsenal of firearms either scavenged or stolen, such as hunting rifles, shotguns, crossbows, revolvers, and pistols. Like the Humvee, they used horses, ATVs, motorcycles, Jeeps, and vans.
