I think a Dawn Awakeners game would be great fun. Then again, so would playing a band of desperate survivors of the Great Darkness who are contacted by the Theyalan Missionaries. Do you embrace Orlanth and the Lightbringers and learn the magic they offer - and use it for some purpose totally unexpected to the Theyalans? Or reject it and get hunted down by ancient enemies? And so on. It would be a blast.
