Forging Dawn, the sword of the morning, approximately 116 cm long forged from 432 layers of Pattern welded steel, hardened and tempered.
the handle is made of steel, beechwood and leather. the star inlay is bronze,
The greatsword Dawn was forged from the heart of a fallen star and has been wielded by Daynes for ten thousand years. The blade is as pale as milkglass, unlike dark Valyrian steel, but is similar in strength and sharpness. Unlike other houses who have ancestral swords, House Dayne does not pass its sword from lord to heir. Only a knight of House Dayne who is deemed worthy can wield Dawn, and the Sword of the Morning is envied throughout the Seven Kingdoms.
The last known user of the sword was Ser Arthur Dayne, a chivalrous knight in the Kingsguard of Aerys II Targaryen.
