The Everdawn

Blessed by the White and led by their chosen, The Everdawn is a group that fights for the protection of Draivros, fighting so that there is always a dawn.

## **History**

Established a few years before the Beacon was raised, The Everdawn was founded by Lord Reinhardt the 2nd to ensure the safety of Draivros through all that could come. Most of the original members were killed fighting to ward the Beacon, leaving Lord Reinhardt the 3rd, his son, and a few other loyal members. After the Second Demon Invasion and the forming of Versatios, the new Everdawn was formed by Lord Reinhardt the 3rd, to forever protect the people.

## **Organization**

The Everdawn is currently backed by The White, and is headquartered in the city of Versatios. However, major Everdawn chapters also exist within the Tande Archives as well as the Valhallian Halls to train their people and keep knowledge safe. Though allied to all of the major factions on Draivros, tensions have often flared between The Everdawn and the other factions due to The Everdawn's constant neutrality in mortal matters. Despite this, no open conflict has occured between The Everdawn and the other factions of Draivros.

## **Sub-Factions**

The Everdawn has multiple sub-factions, each with different goals and intents. While all in the Everdawn wish for the dawn to shine forever, some see other ways of doing it. The Everdawn recognizes these openly, and as such, each holds a percent claim to The Everdawn. At the start of CE, these are the recognized claims.

* Order of the Everdawn: 35%.
* Gaarian Fleet: 15%.
* Order of the Dusk: 14%.
* Eternal Protectorate of Guardians: 11%.
* Lion's Heart Order: 10%.
* White Knights of the Cross: 8%.
* Mythbringer's Order: 6%.
* Order of the Deathwyrm: 1%.

## **Military**

Though composed mainly of volunteers, most of these Everdawn volunteers are highly disciplined, believe strongly in their order, and train regularly on a professional level; however, The Everdawn does lack the sheer numbers of recruits that the other factions on Draivros are able to rely upon, while The Everdawn's system of a volunteer military means that members recruited locally might be more loyal to their faction than to Everdawn itself. However, various Draivros factions send their soldiers to Versatios or the frontlines during times of war, as long as they are properly assisted.
