Can someone please exaplin what this is, how it began and what happened please because all I know is that a few gods died during this time, it revolved around Lathandar and that's about it.

On the Dawn Cataclysm very little is really known. (as it was originally a one-liner in an old sourcebook. People saw it and went 'we want more', so every so often extra tidbits get thrown into the mix)
It revolved around Lathander's attempt to smite evil and reshape the pantheon (with himself as head). During this turn of events Helm's girlfriend was killed off (Murdane, a lesser power of reason & pragmatism) and Helm is still miffed with Lathander for this.
As for when it happened by piecing together bits and bobs it's around about 700 DR (+/- 100 years), most evidence tends to place it around the Fall of Myth Drannor.
Also, rumour has it that the Big L is shaping up for another try at regime change, so expect Dawn Cataclysm : The Return at a store near you soon..

Speculation is that he will perhaps fail again, be reborn as Amaunator, and then Myrkul will rise as lord of Duck.

The alignment issue is not too important... The basic premise of the theory is that the sun god is 3 parts (dawn, noon, dusk), like 3 sides of a triangle, and you only ever see one or two at once.
So back in the old days Amaunator was blanket lord of the Sun. Jergal had Dusk. At some point Amaunator faded (going from LG to LN), and Jergal gave Dusk to Myrkul (going from LE to LN in the process I think). Then Lathander comes along and is Dawn (so Dawn and Dusk are now present). Then Myrkul (Dusk) dies (or is at least severely reduced in power).
The idea is that the deities are the facets of one Sun God. And now Dusk is waning, it is time for Dawn to move into Noon (i.e. possible rebirth of Amaunator from Lathander).
And since Lathander's Dawn Cataclysm failed last time, and he is trying again, that could be the event to trigger it.
I don't think Lathander's aims were to set himself up as head of all the deities, just to 'reshape the Pantheon in his own image', or make the other gods more like him. He's an idealist.

Bear in mind, though, that Bane likes to think of himself as THE number one bad guy, so he might not take kindly to Shar moving in on Zhentil Keep, which he sees as "his."Okay thank you kindly guys, much obliged/appreciated. :thumb:

"Tyranny is a quiet thing at first, a prim and proper lady pursing her lips and shaking her head disapprovingly, asking, well what were you doing (wearing that dress, walking home at that hour, expressing those inappropriate thoughts) anyway? It's subtle and insidious, disguised as reasonable precautions which become more and more oppressive over time, until our lives are defined by the things we must avoid. She's easy enough to agree with, after all, she's only trying to help -- and yet she's one of the most dangerous influences we face, because if she prevails, it puts the raping, robbing, axe-wielding madmen of the world in complete control. Eventually they'll barely need to wield a thing, all they'll have to do is leer menacingly and we fall all over ourselves trying to placate them." -godlizard
