I’m not so sure the rationale behind Renly’s choice of having a rainbow guard means anything, but rather the fact that it IS the Rainbow guard that is significant. Lighting bolts are flashes of brilliant blazing light and come in every color of the rainbow. But I feel like along with that are lightning bolts.

The Wall is supposed to prevent magical beings from crossing and its said it defends itself, so it seems to me that rainbows are intended to symbolize magic. It's supposed to render the Sword of the Morning undefeatable. What is the rainbow symbolism in the story? It's easy to dismiss Renly's rainbow guard as a symbol of gay pride, but perhaps that's not how Renly actually saw it? They could have been his idea of a recreation of Dawn, as if he was trying to conjure a magical protection some how. Dawn is a magical sword. Well I guess this speaks to the topic at hand. What he’s expected to do is defeat winter, not to kill a human enemy. Azor Ahai is the champion of the Lord of Light. A second long night is coming and with it a generation of dark winter cold. A battle of light versus dark, the two sides being forces of nature. Melisandre thinks Azor Ahai is a savior that will battle the Great Other and bring about everlasting summer. It’s the PEOPLE that are being represented by the tales of celestial events as compared with the tales being about anthropomorphised heavenly bodies. It seems more likely that the heavens are actually used purely as symbolic descriptions of human centric events. But just because the framework for the explanation is as a celestial event it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s describing a celestial event. Throughout time people have sought to explain the unexplainable through looking at the stars. I sometimes wonder if we aren’t too quick in assigning symbolic and celestial meaning to the in world mythologies and getting it backwards. Especially when the current sword in the North is one that is known to embody the characteristics of fire magic when the one in the south comes closer to that of ice. Seems there should be some significance in that idea. In both Dawn and ice you see two diametrically opposed swords. As a matter of fact, I suspect it might have displayed the exact opposite characteristics. We can’t count on the characteristics of the old blade in any way matching those of the new. I agree that we get tricked as the current “Ice” is a replacement blade.

The sword Ice is a bit of a red herring in that the one split by Tobho Mott was a spell-forged Valyrian blade - NOT the original and if there's any significance attaching, it attaches to the original and there we come back to ice and its ability to reflect the full colour spectrum of the rainbow. Which is rather to get away from the point. I'd certainly go with that and indeed still cleave to the suspicion that HR may have been a dirty rotten coward who shot poor Jesse Arthur in the back.
