The Church of the Golden Dawn is the spiritual successor of the Clergy of Mardük and the Forgotten which emerged after the Catastrophe in the Fourth Age. It is dedicated to spreading the faith of Mardük, the fallen God of Chaos who is sometimes also referred to as a goddess. It is named after one of Mardük's old epithets, the Golden Dawn, and the followers are known as clerics of Mardük, Dawnists and Wolves of Mardük due to the prominent symbol of a sun and the head of a wolf that they use to identify themselves in public. The church is led from the Imperial City, capital of the Andarian Empire, where it has seen great success among the masses due to its sermons emphasizing freedom which fit in well with the Empire's libertarian laws.
