Blue Banners

The Blue Banners are a naval force loyal to the city of Dawnhaven. The premier navy in the West Marches, it gave Dawnhaven a control and influence over trade and politics in the West Marches far in excess of the size of the city and its population. Driven at first by a rivalry with the Lords' Alliance for primacy over trade within the West Marches, the Blue Banners were technologically innovative and yet operationally conservative. Following the formation of the Dawn Council, the Blue Banners played a key role in checking the maritime power and political influence of the West Marches Trading Company.

The Blue Banners' influence in Dawnhaven was drastically impacted following revelations that their leader, Cedric Kinseeker, had conspired against the Dawn Council during the Battle for Dawnhaven. Following the battle, Kinseeker was executed for treason, and the Blue Banners' seat on the Dawn Council was replaced with a representative of the West Marches Adventuring Company. The Blue Banners subsequently amalgamated with the West Marches Trading Company, to become the latter's military arm.
