The Sword of the Morning is a title of House Dayne bestowed on the knight who bears their ancestral greatsword Dawn. The Sword of the Morning is always a member of House Dayne. [1] The title is not necessarily passed to the lord of the house, but to the knight considered most worthy to wield it, as decided within the House. [2] [3] If there is no Dayne knight considered worthy, the title lies dormant; the last to bear the title was Ser Arthur Dayne, a famed knight of the Kingsguard.
