The Sword of the Morning is a revered title in the lore of George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series, which inspired the television phenomenon “Game of Thrones.” This title is associated with a legendary knight from House Dayne, a noble house in the fictional world of Westeros.

The title is not hereditary but is bestowed upon a knight deemed worthy to wield the ancestral sword Dawn. This enchanted sword, forged from a fallen star, is said to be as pale as milkglass and sharper than any other blade. Only a knight of exceptional honor, skill, and purity can wield Dawn and be recognized as the Sword of the Morning.

The concept of the Sword of the Morning adds a layer of mystique to the rich tapestry of Martin’s fantasy world, contributing to the themes of chivalry, destiny, and the significance of legendary artifacts in the unfolding narrative.
