	The armies of Dawn go from victory to victory. After [[382YE_Spring_Equinox_winds_of_war#Home_.28Semmerholm.29\|defeating the Druj invasion of Semmerholm]], they turned their attention north and with the power of the [[Semmerholm#The_Golden_Causeway\|Golden Causeway]] launched a bold [[382YE_Autumn_Equinox_winds_of_war#In_The_End_.28The_Mallum.29\|surprise attack]] into [[the Mallum]] itself. The value of Dawnish magic is nowhere more obvious than in the magical bridge, in [[Knights of Glory\|powerful allies]] secured from the Summer ~~Realm~~, and in the magical citadels raised by Summer Dawning Relentless to protect far-flung territories of the Empire. The National Assembly urges witches and weavers to "forge their legends with the Dawnish armies", but this call has little impact. Weavers and witches alike are ''already'' supporting the armies, either directly by seeking glory in battle or less obviously by weaving glorious magic to strengthen and support the warriors of Dawn.

	Rather, the bold actions of the four armies - the Golden Sun, the Eastern Sky, the Hounds of Glory, and the Gryphon's Pride - and of the generals who lead them - is what inspires the people of Dawn. Bold, courageous, proud... above all ''[[glory\|glorious]]''. What the defence of Semmerholm initiated, the invasion of Ossium has cemented. The people of Dawn, noble and yeofolk alike, see the armies and the [[general\|generals]] who lead them - '''Tancred de Rondell''', '''Zoran Orzel''', '''Vincent Vexille''', and '''Garravaine de Rondell''' - as the very exemplar of the splendour and indomitable spirit of Dawn. Nobody ''else'' has so consistently wielded the hammer of justice against the vile spawn of the Mallum, after all.
