Which sword did Ned bring with him into the Tower of Joy?

It’s Dawn. The shape of it (note the curvature) matches Dawn’s from what we saw in the Tower of Joy fight, and the star on the pommel is also a giveaway. More than that, Ned killed Dayne with Dawn, at least in the show-verse.

They could be focusing on the sword to highlight the “bleeding star” motif. The sword is forged from the heart of a “fallen star” and by this point would be covered in blood, including Dayne’s blood (his sigil is the falling star, so in prophetic terms, Dayne would be represented as a “star” or as a “fallen star” or “falling star”). It’s also juxtaposed against Lyanna’s blood in the scene.

The idea of Dawn and/or Dayne fitting into the “bleeding star” part of the Azor Ahai prophecy has been around for a while. The red comet was (probably!) a red herring, and this scene (and the fight) could be showing us what it “really” refers to.
