| “ | The Dawnsword dates from the Godswar, Champion — an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. The details are mostly lost in the distant past, but Sigebert, the legendary founder of the Order of the Oriflamme, is said to have brought it with him from the land of the frost elves in the midst of the war. With the sword's blazing light as his beacon, he founded a warriors' legion to defend the lands that would eventually become Yvennes from Wraith and thrall alike.

Description
The pride and joy of the Order of the Oriflamme, granted to that cadre of elite Lumian paladins by the goddess herself. Casual inspection suggests that it's little more than an elaborate sword hilt with far too much gilding, but upon activation by the wielder a blade of blazing brilliance bursts forth from the guard, capable of cleaving through metal with ease. Two decades underground hasn't tarnished it any, and it still gleams as if it were brand new. That it actually works for you says something in and of itself; although whether you personally like the implications is another matter...

Two decades underground hasn't tarnished it any, and it still gleams as if it were brand new. There's no weapon better suited for a valkyrie like you, the cream of the crop when it comes to the goddess of light's holy warriors.

While the Dawnsword or Corrupted Dawnsword is equipped or in the Champion's inventory, there are instances where specific mentions of the sword is used:
- The Champion executing Queen Alissa during the events of The Demon of Ice(equipped)
- The Dawnsword gets a special mention when:
- Training with Annika
- Talking to Lumia about Paladins
- At the end of fighting the Wraith Trolls with Annika during the events of Shadows Over the Sun
- The Dawnsword can be returned to Lumia at the Palace of Light, in exchange for the Guldring
- Similar to the scene in Shadows Over the Sun, entering the Palace of Light with the Corrupted Dawnsword will have Lumia cleanse the sword, or exchange it for the Guldring
