As for Oathkeeper--I keep thinking Brienne will slay a dragon with that thing.
I am not sure how will Dawn get North but I don't think the show will keep that tradition that the Daynes have it and it cannot be stolen or carried by anyone but the Sword of the Morning (aka a worthy Dayne).
In fact since we have no mention of Ned returning the sword and probably the show won't dwell on it I have two theories:
1. we won't ever know what happened to it and we'll never see it again, which I thought more probable until "you people" ganged up here and almost convinced me! Kudos to you
2. Ned has it and:
2.a Jon is Lyanna & Arthur's son and will get it as a Dayne - I think it's very unlikely, since they shot themselves in the foot with that pic from the official blog spelling out Jon's heritage. It's like the Night's King leaked info all over again! Though clearly not impossible. (There voice , I'm not going to piss in your coffee, eh?! I think that's what you root for)
2.b Ned stashed it somewhere in Winterfell. He kept it, as there was no one to give it to until now. Oh, boy I feel like freaking out right now. Nobody please stop me
EDIT: forgot to mention that though the books have much more in terms of build up for the swords, I believe they are trying to make up for it now. Sam stealing Heartsbane was a pure example. They literally kept badass Randyll Tarly just for Sam to have a backstory for how he needs to steal the sword. That makes the item more important than the character being introduced in the same episode... We all know why, right?! LOL
