Hm, interesting! I can only find the term "Dawn Marshal" used in a couple of episodes (23 and 43, to be exact, but there are about a dozen episodes still pending transcripts that I can't search). The phrasing here does make it sound like a singular leadership role, and the definition of marshal as "a military officer of the highest rank" would support that.

For the quote you found, I'm not sure how that fits in. In Episode 109, the warriors accompanying Groon are called the "Dawn Fist". Perhaps Matt said one and meant the other? I guess the alternative would be that Dawn Marshal is indeed a more common title, and Groon just happens to be the highest-ranked Dawn Marshal. Seems unlikely, though, with phrases like "the Dawn Marshal himself ".

I do feel it's worth noting that Groon is the only religious leader ever referred to as Dawn Marshal. As such, I've always been under the impression that it was a Kord-specific thing, the equivalent of "Highbearer" for the Platinum Sanctuary and "High Hierophant" for the Birthheart. Right now the stuff in the second paragraph under Society strikes me as a little speculative. Maybe that's just me?
