The Dawnstriders are a house organisation based in the city-state of Shallam. Nis (born Chronos 12, 204 AF) was a Serpent-classed adventurer known for his hissing. He left the Serpentlords guild and founded the organisation known as the Dawnstriders guild.

Members of this house work together to right the wrongs of the world through whatever means necessary, giving no quarter to their enemies, willing to employ methods viewed by much of the rest of Sapience as antithetical to the traditional ideals of Shallam. Yet, no matter how they achieve their goals, they are ever vigilant to ensure they do not cross the fine line that separates them from that which they struggle against.

The Dawnstriders as a house are circumspect in their dealings with outsiders, but on an individual level the members frequently are quite social, reaching out and making friends, acquaintances, and contacts with those in other organisations. The house itself has a loose structure, far less rigid than most, but requiring strict adherence to the stated ideals of the House, as well as implicit respect between all members.

Though heavily focused on the retrieval and storage of information due to their roots as a serpent guild, the Dawnstriders welcome members of many interests. All those with the moral fortitude and self-discipline to enter the shadows in service of the light will find a place within the House, from the patient teacher, to the skilled assassin; from those who risk all in pursuit of information to the relentless thief-catcher. It is such variety of talents, tied with firm ideals, fellowship and strong sense of purpose, that allows the Dawnstriders to flourish upon the razor's edge between light and shadow.

Their house tutor is Loryn.

Their icon, the Triple Suns, has fallen.
