Rank 3: Dawn
- Holder: Arthur Dayne
Dawn is absolutely unique and therefore difficult to categorize. It is not made of Valyrian steel, but is at least as sharp and durable. According to legends, it was forged from the metal of a fallen star. The blade is as pale as milk glass and almost glows from within.
Whether Dawn would actually be able to kill a White Walker cannot be said for certain. However, it seems quite probable. The symbolism would definitely fit. The sword’s name in English is Dawn, meaning dawn. Dawn signifies the end of the night – here the famous “Long Night” – caused by the White Walkers.
The origin of the sword is not exactly known. However, it seems to have been in the possession of House Dayne for thousands of years. Unlike many other swords on this list, it is not automatically inherited. Only the most chivalrous and capable fighter of the family can wield it and is thereby given the title “Sword of the Morning.” The most famous bearer was Ser Arthur Dayne, one of the best swordsmen in the history of Westeros. After Arthur’s death, Ned personally returned the sword to Starfall, where it waits for the next worthy knight of House Dayne.
