The Story
It is the dawn of a new era. The great kingdoms of old have crumbled to dust, leaving behind a world without law, without order, without hope. In this time of chaos and opportunity, new leaders must rise.
As a player of D.A.W.N., you take the reins of leadership in this anarchic world. With only a small band of loyal followers, you must carve out your own destiny. Establish settlements, train armies, and overcome the monsters and bandits that roam the wild lands.
The path to power is fraught with danger, but for those bold enough to seize it, glory and dominion await. Will you build a peaceful trading empire or conquer through military might? The choice is yours in the dawn of this new age.
