The dream of conquering the Barrens has been a symbol of Dawnish aspiration for longer than anyone can remember. For centuries they have contested the territory with the Druj, but its great size has prevented them from ever managing to seize control. Still, there have been Dawnish settlements throughout Dawnguard and Murderdale and even as far east as the Carmine Fields. Even with the evacuation of 383YE, there are a few houses that still cling on to their estates, preferring to suffer the brutal rule of the Druj than give up their ancient homes.
