			[[Morning Light]] was chosen for its emotional and meaningful message to the nation of Dawn. It was written in the darkest days of recent Dawnish history, after the Sweetglade Massacre and the actions of ''Archavion Wolfborne''. This piece was written to help push Dawn into a new, better era, so recent tragedies would not define the nation. The song was performed by '''Lady Mercy Goldvein''' to earn her title as the first Note of Dawn.
