 First taking form at the beginning of the First Eclipsean Crusade in Cayahli, the Dawn Hawk gathered the servants of Ra and organized them into a legion to battle the children of Rudri. The Dawn Hawk is believed to be the ascended Zaran Davar, a Dahabi warrior priest that joined the Nahruli Lamplighters in their crusade against the Night. In the lands where the Ninite Church is predominant, Peregrinus is viewed as a saint rather than a deity.
-The Dawn Hawk appears as a large bird of prey reefed in flame, the fury of this creature is laid bare to all who see it. It is said to soar over battlefields leaving torrents of solar light to the forces of darkness. This aspect has a major presence in Nahrul, as the Lamplighters honor it as the primary and most important manifestation of Ra.  Ra’ites in service to the Dawn Hawk are considered to be the most radical of the priesthood.

 ==== Beliefs ====
-The followers of Ra believe him to be the supreme being who rules over creation and the other gods. They say he is a benevolent deity who wishes the best for mortals as he holds a grand design for the fate of the universe. This is known as his “True Order”, a perfect world where all beings have a purpose for their existence, free from war violence, and tyranny. For the faithful, there is no higher mission than enacting Ra’s will in the mortal plane, however, they are divided on the proper way to perform that duty. The planes of Jaern and Cahyali have differing views on the precise nature of Ra. Jaern views Ra as a defined being with its own personality that is believed to be one and the same with his avatars. Surya is Ra, and Ra is Surya for example. On Cahyali, Ra is viewed as a quasi sentient cosmic force that empowers beings that embody universal order. Each Avatars are therefore considered to be different persons that draw from the same source. In Jaern, Ra is referred to with masculine pronouns, while in Cahyali, Ra is called ‘it’.
