It depends when you are setting it. Different periods require different tactics.

There was a fair bit of activity going on during the Silver Age which is up to a thousand years before the Dawn. Think of it as taking place during a dark and dismal ice age. I don't think there would be any great change in consciousness but if you desire such a change you can.
One important thing to notice is that the Dawn doesn't happen everywhere at the same time. Up to about two centuries afterwards some people are still wandering around thinking they are in the Darkness.
