Rome,
eventually people would forget the original ideas of dawn. The dawn is only as bright as the servants that guide it. All servants are beat upon by darkwalkers to begin with. eventually something like this will occur. Children and servants with thier current powers will be the same, but the avengers will come in and be strong. slowly and steadily the avengers will be depended on to defend and regain items. They will become tired of this or come to thjink that they are the back bone of dawn.
ack! i am sorry but this isn't very well orginized. What i am trying to say is that your idea was well planned but in reality would not work very well i think. First the servants are all equal, giving them all different powers would change this, second the dawn has no item for a reason and that is because what thier item is is the hope and faitgh within each of them and once that is taken it never returns. I think that the children(the name at least) should become a part of entropy for they sound fun. The avengers though... i think twould be better to recreat a new order of knights in thera seperate from the dawn under the leadership of shokai. I know the imms are tired of hearing this but i think it is time that they returned. I have only heard stories about them so i can't know for sure but i hear that in general besides a few mad pkayers they were good and devouted people and they should have a chance to ride again.
these are just my thoughts and i do not know how heavely you should weigh them but i love the dawn and have had 6 chars in it. i believe that if you change it this radically you will only be inviting it to fall.

I see what you are trying to do is in essence very good but it takes away from the purpose of dawn. Though many people think so dawn is no more then the shield of the light. Though at times there may be a spike on this shield it is still not a sword or an axe. My view may be a little biased cause almost all my chars are good and peaceful but the avengers of dawn would step beyond the line of being a shield or even a spiked shield to become a dagger. This would create a lot of conflict with in dawn i think at least. I myself had many arguements with overly aggresive members of dawn when we were all part of the same cabal(most either relized they were to aggresive and retired from dawn to crusade in the path of the former knights or were expelled and made evil) As we all know sects within a cabal create in effect multiple cabals. Look at empire, they are so devided it is horendus especialy from an organization who seek to unite all of thera under thier glory. Eventually dawn to would become devided but not so openly. The children seem to be played just for fun like entropists and the avengers no matter how you look at it is an attempt to revive the knights.
