The Cold Dawn is a multi-chapter fan fiction story for the animated series RWBY. It stars original characters in a plot that is seperate from the canon storyline, but impacted by the events that transpire in the official story. Rather than following a team of young huntsmen or huntresses in training, The Cold Dawn follows Team ARGT, a group of criminals who are caught up in the political turmoil of the northern kingdom of Atlas. Complicating matters further is the fact that their violent and unsavory pasts are starting to catch up with them, causing internal tension and strife.
