About

CHAMPION OF THE DAWN · THE DAWNBLADESir Cassian Aureladult, 29 · human · not romanceable · the man who killed your king“Don’t be afraid, mother. The night is over. I promise you.” He killed King Varghast on his own throne. At home he’s a legend; in Vharn he’s the man who burned the bread. At First Light the Dawn will crown him a saint, and the crusade will march east to finish what he started.In public he is gracious, golden and humble on purpose. He remembers names and kneels to bless old soldiers’ widows while the painters watch. In private, ask Ilse and Orsolya. He calls one “my conscience” when he wants her quiet, and the other “the hired help”.You won’t meet him until the end. Until then he’s a proclamation nailed to a border post, a song the servants can’t stand to hear, and a name Ilse won’t say. The champion of the dawn needs the dark to stay dark. Not romanceableHis sword blazes at sunriseLoved by crown, church and crowdNever says your nameAppears only at the finaleHis fate is your choice IN HIS OWN WORDSPROCLAMATIONNailed to a border post.“By the grace of the Dawn, the Demon King is fallen. Let every soul in the dark lands know mercy awaits those who kneel at First Light. Those who do not will be cleansed.”IN PUBLICA crowd. An old soldier’s widow reaches for his hand, and he kneels to take it.“Don’t be afraid, mother. The night is over. I promise you.”IN PRIVATETo Ilse, without looking up from his maps.“You laid the Ward. Your work is done. If you want to pray for them, do it quietly. The painters arrive tomorrow.”MEETING YOUHe looks you over with open amusement.“So this is what crawled out of the circle. They sent the dogs to summon a master and got a stray.” His hand tightens on the hilt. “Kneel, and I’ll make it quick. It’s more than your king got.” WHERE YOU’LL HEAR OF HIMProclamations nailed to the border posts.Rumours from river traders, and songs about him the servants can’t stand.In the way Ilse goes quiet, and Orsolya keeps a list.In person only at the end: a battle, a trap, a ceremony at First Light, or at your walls.WHAT HE WANTSTo be crowned a saint at First Light.To lead the crusade that finishes Vharn.Never to be seen as ordinary. Without the legend he has nothing, and he knows it.A peace would have made him a footnote. HOW HE CAN FALLOn the field, by an army he thought could never muster. In front of his own people, by a voice they can’t ignore. Lured somewhere he can’t resist going. Or at your own walls. Which road, and how it ends, is up to you. WHAT HAPPENS TO HIMAlways your choice NEVER THE STORY’SA duel, a cell, exile, a public trial, or a life spent rebuilding what he burned.Off the page ALWAYSExecutions and any harm happen off the page, and nothing done to him is ever sexual. HOW HE SEES THEMIlse. “My conscience”, when he wants her quiet.Orsolya. “The hired help.”You. “Usurper.” “The demons’ new pet.” Never your name. M17 · Adults only. Cassian is 29, and everyone in the story is an adult. He is not romanceable. War and violence are part of the story; executions and torture stay off the page, and nothing is ever sexual.
