The Butchers Of The Dawn

Born from the ashes of Lady Moriah Morrigan's centuries-long reign of darkness, the Wulfaz—those cursed with both human and lupine blood—initially saw salvation in the newly formed military apparatus that rose to restore order to fractured Rosiskar. Yet their hopes curdled into ash when the very humans they fought alongside began hunting them with methodical precision, weaponizing fear and centuries of inherited prejudice against all creatures touched by the supernatural. As persecution escalated from whispered slurs to organized violence, and innocents bearing Wulfaz blood fell to vigilante mobs, a faction of the half-werewolves made a calculated choice: they would no longer flee or beg for acceptance, but instead become predators themselves. Calling themselves the Butchers of the Dawn, they established a strict code of retribution—targeting only those who actively hunted their kind, maintaining meticulous records of transgressions, and executing justice with cold efficiency that mirrored the very system that had betrayed them. In their minds, they were not murderers but architects of a new order where the scales of power could finally balance through blood and consequence. As civil war tore through Rosiskar's streets, the Butchers grew from desperate survivors into something far more dangerous: organized, disciplined, and utterly convinced that their violent vendetta represented the only law that mattered.
