No.. Honestly, I thought that it would be an easy riddle :(

Well, the idea of a sword was right: with dawn I meant the moment in which you extract it from its scabbard, and with dusk the moment in which you sheathe it. So, which swords are the right ones?

No.. read well the riddle: they are swords with some "relation" with darkness and light, ok?

is one of them the aedirnian light sword?
That would be funny since the light here probably is about weight, not visibility.
What about Black Unicorn?

.Volsung. is very close now, with his second answer, but not that one :)
And remember that the swords are two, so two answers ;)

@Squall
Hmmmm
next time you may want to add more lines to your riddle. That way you can make the shooting easier for players and add some glam to your game ;)/>

@The rest
Better summarize the hints now:

-Squall said that the correct answer is composed in our "real language" (common language in The Witcher Universe)
-He clearly stated that the answer are two swords: "dawn" is a metaphore to sheathe, "dusk" to unsheathe.
-These swords are someway connected with "light" and "darkness" (so I'd exclude that "light" is related to the weight).
-Another hint is the Black Unicorn, so either they're kaedweni swords or similar to the Black Unicorn sword.
-There ain't any unicorn in the aedernian coat of arms. Just red, yellow stripes on black.

Yes, the next time I should write again a long "poem" ;)

But this time it would be actually easy, if read properly.. still not the right answer.. Close to Black Unicorn, guys :)

Don't mean to be rude, but that was actually confusing :P/>

First, he said the object of the riddle exists our world, not just our language. But I'm assuming he means the generic type (i.e. sword). Second, he said by dawn he meant UNsheathing, and by dusk, sheathing. Third, I said he probably didn't mean light-weight but I'd give it a shot with the "light sword" :P/>/>

He also said Novigrad and/or Nilfgaard were related.

So... nilfgaardian sword? nilfgaardian harpy? novigradian sword?

bloody hell... somebody guess already!
