Crimson Dawn was an aggressive movement that proposed a policy of military build up, rapid expansion, resource exploitation, and eventual conquest. After humanity had run away from the turmoil of the post-Black Claw fallout, some felt that they should return with a strong military force. Thus they would have a stronger position to speak from in representation of humanity against the other races that had helped to overthrow the Black Claw. The Crimson Dawn eventually became the dominant power before being defeated by the Jade Connection after several decades of holding power.
