The player controls only one character throughout the game, which is chosen at the beginning from 5 different heroes.

Why this record matters
“Anvil of Dawn” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Anvil, Dawn and video provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q772925. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
