Ooooh! Intriguing! They might be yes. Also in regards to the crypt there are all these other stories - like how Bale the Bard hid with Lord Starks daughter there. How Jon keeps dreaming about the Kings of Winter (and them telling him he is not a Stark).
I'm definitely on board for the "sword = Night's Watch" idea
Yay! The more I think about it the more I like it. Possibly because I'm not that fond of a "magical sword" fixing everything. I like things to be a bit more complex.
As for Dawn I think that will come into play as well, but as of yet it is till in the Dayne stronghold of Starfall. But since the wielder of the sword is called "Sword of the Morning" then I think its safe to say there is some significance.
Also - pet theory without any proof: Rheagar read something in the scrolls and books when he was a child, prompting him to think he must become a warrior. I suspect he read about the coming of Winter and wanted to prepare. Also Rheagar was quite fond of prophesies and my suspicion is that he read some prophesies and interpreted them wrong - could one of the things that waylaid him have been the presences of his best friend Arthur Dayne with his "Sword of the Morning" title and wielding of Dawn? Could Rheagar have gone through the checklist and said "born in salt and fire" - check, that is me because of Summerhall (whatever happened there). A sword called "Lightbringer" - well check as well, as my good friend Arthur has a rather nifty sword etc. In other words could the presences of Dawn have been Rheagar's red herring? (If you get my point?) As in when he read "Lightbringer" he automatically thought about Dawn, to the exclusion of everything else?
