Crimson Dawn

A magical source of energy which exists in another dimension. It is said to be the lifeblood of the world, although it has a shadowy aspect. When Psylocke was critically injured by Sabretooth, Archangel, Wolverine, Gomurr, and Dr. Strange journeyed into the Crimson Dawn to find a remedy to heal her. Later, the Dawn was usurped from its proctor, Tar, by Kuragari, who tried to turn Psylocke into his bride. He was defeated by Angel and Psylocke, and the Dawn was turned over to Gomurr.

The Proctor of the Crimson Dawn wields great power, not the least of which is control of crimson runes that move like insects and can pierce and sting foes. Other persons touched by the Dawn: Spiral and the Dragons of the Crimson Dawn - Barak, Ra'al and Ayin.
