How är en "Älskad värdig", för att förvärva Greatsword "Dawn"?

5

Ser Arthur Dayne was a knight of House Dayne who bore the title of "Sword of the Morning" as he possessed the ancestral sword of House Dayne, Dawn. He was also a member of the Kingsguard under King Aerys II Targaryen.

The Sword of the Morning is a title bestowed upon the knight of House Dayne that bears Dawn, the ancestral longsword of the family. The title is not hereditary, automatically passed down to the current head of House Dayne. Rather, the sword Dawn is only held by a member of House Dayne who is considered worthy of the honor, after displaying immense skill at swordsmanship. Sometimes the head of House Dayne wields Dawn, but in some generations of the family it is held by a younger brother or cousin. In some generations, no member of the family is allowed to wield the sword at all, because it is deemed that none have proven themselves worthy. When a current "Sword of the Morning" dies, he does not pass Dawn down to his own children: instead it is brought back to Starfall castle, to wait for a new "Sword of the Morning" to rise again (which may take generations).

According to George R.R. Martin, the sword Dawn remains at Starfall during the War of the Five Kings, because no new Sword of the Morning has yet risen since Arthur Dayne died.

ÄvenomböckernakommeriniidénomHouseDayneattha/skänkaGreatsword"Dawn" lite bättre, berör TV-seriet fortfarande på Dawn, Arthur Dayne (Tower of Joy Sequence) och / eller titeln: Morgonens svärd , men varken böckerna eller tv-serierna verkar förklara vad de SPECIFIKA villkoren är för att svärdet passerar. Bara för att säga att det går till en som är "ansedd värdig" av det.

Fråga:

Men vem som specifikt på Starfall eller Members House Dayne får bestämma vad "värdigt" betyder men ännu viktigare, vad är kriterierna för värdighet?

För att bättre förstå min fråga:

Jag är intresserad av filosofin och filosofins metodik av House Daynes interworking för att avgöra varför denna ritual har bevarats. Finns det ett råd eller en titel till dem som bestämmer vem och kanske "när" någon är värd Dawn? Är Magic (visioner) i samband med religion (en tro på något önskat resultat) som används i denna bestämning? Finns det någon form av "test" eller "långsiktig" avsikt för rollen som Svärd av morgonen ?

Finns det någon specifik förekomst som jag antingen förbises eller existerar i andra källmaterial för att bättre förstå dessa saker. Vilken hjälp som helst skulle vara mycket uppskattad, som jag tror att

A: Det berikar berättelsen genom att lägga till den övergripande ASoIF / GOT-filosofin. Det här hjälper också till att skapa teman.

B: Förbättrar mytologin / metafysiken ---> White Walkers, Cycle Cosmology, Reinkarnation, Dawn Age / Age of Heroes & Bibeln Allegory: Morning Sword + Starfell + Dawn="Morning Star", The Dawn of a New Era) och * kan ge en framtida "plot twist".

Medlemmarna i House Dayne bestämmer om någon är värdig.

Som sagt Martin:

  • The same guy asked about the Daynes and the Sword of the Morning, asking how that title is decided. George said the Sword of the Morning is always a member of House Dayne, someone who is deemed worthy of wielding Dawn as decided within the House, that whoever it is would have to earn the right to wield it.

Eftersom Arthur Dayne dog under Roberts uppror, har ingen anses vara värdig, så Dawn förblir oanvänd.

The Daynes of Starfall are one of the most ancient houses in the Seven Kingdoms, though their fame largely rests on their ancestral sword, called Dawn, and the men who wielded it. Its origins are lost to legend, but it seems likely that the Daynes have carried it for thousands of years. Those who have had the honor of examining it say it looks like no Valyrian steel they know, being pale as milkglass but in all other respects it seems to share the properties of Valyrian blades, being incredibly strong and sharp.

Though many houses have their heirloom swords, they mostly pass the blades down from lord to lord. Some, such as the Corbrays have done, may lend the blade to a son or brother for his lifetime, only to have it return to the lord. But that is not the way of House Dayne. The wielder of Dawn is always given the title of Sword of the Morning, and only a knight of House Dayne who is deemed worthy can carry it.

For this reason, the Swords of the Morning are all famous throughout the Seven Kingdoms. There are boys who secretly dream of being a son of Starfall so they might claim that storied sword and its title. Most famous of all was Ser Arthur Dayne, the deadliest of King Aerys II's Kingsguard, who defeated the Kingswood Brotherhood and won renown in every tourney and mêlée. He died nobly with his sworn brothers at the end of Robert's Rebellion, after Lord Eddard Stark was said to have killed him in single combat. Lord Stark then returned Dawn to Starfall, and to Ser Arthur's kin, as a sign of respect.

I en fest för krager gör en av de andra Daynesna en kommentar om Dawn:

Ser Gerold [Dayne] went to one knee. The moonlight shone in his dark eyes as he studied the child coolly.

"There was an Arthur Dayne," Myrcella said. "He was a knight of the Kingsguard in the days of Mad King Aerys."

"He was the Sword of the Morning. He is dead."

"Are you the Sword of the Morning now?"

"No. Men call me Darkstar, and I am of the night."

(...)

As she led the princess to the fire, Arianne found Ser Gerold behind her. "My House goes back ten thousand years, unto the dawn of days," he complained. "Why is it that my cousin is the only Dayne that anyone remembers?"

"He was a great knight," Ser Arys Oakheart put in.

"He had a great sword," Darkstar said.
