The darkest hour is right before the dawn: famous quote throughout history meaning that pain torment and evil are most plentiful before they are eliminated AKA the darkness is deepest before the light.


I thought it meant that they named it TDH before DOTD. After all, they did call this game The darkest hour at first until they called it Dawn off the dragon, so it makes sence that they say "The darkest hour is before the dawn". But I could be wrong....

When they said the darkest hour comes before the dawn, I think they meant that midnight (the darkest time ever) is before the morning, but that's just what I think...
