However Xiandu underestimated the might of the Crimson Dawn, and only learned that his friends had been corrupted by it in the night they killed him. In the pitch of night they were initiated into a covenant that promised to repel China’s oppressors. Frustrated that their prayers hadn’t been answered, Xiandu and three of his friends, Ra’al, Barak and A’yin, went down the darkest road they would ever travel. A group of monks prayed that the kingdom would be spared the endless bloodshed, but the Ming dynasty ended anyway. Many centuries ago, China was overrun by the barbarian Li-Tzu Ch’eng. Also inhabiting the dimension are the so called Undercloaks, a group of ninja-styled warriors clad in black, obeying the Proctor’s every command.

Inside the palace, there is a chamber called the Ebony Vain, containing the magical elixir after which the entire dimension is named in a glowing sphere. The outer walls of the palace in the city’s center though seem to be made of metal. The sky is blood red and the few buildings that seem to form the only city resemble the design of old Chinese temples, a theme that is also apparent in the interior with several Asian styled ornaments and symbols being used for decoration. The Crimson Dawn is a stygian nether-dimension, hidden between the shadows of the world.
