Dawnshard process of elimination round N

[Ripheus23]

I am hoping that the Dawnshards turn out to sort of be objects of the kinds we've seen so far. I don't think they are sa'angreal, even of Choedan Kal magnitude say, for Stormlight; it seems more like the Honorblades represent a similar enough function, plus if you're IN the highstorm...

So, it seems possible that what the Dawnshards are is given from the text as it stands, plus WoBs. Like, if we could possibly guess some core motive thing about the Ghostbloods cosmere-wise, from such info, why not the Dawnshards?

Taking the Dawnshard, known to bind any creature voidish or mortal, he crawled up the steps crafted for Heralds, ten strides tall apiece, toward the grand temple above.

Let's assume that this is not literal enough to be taken literally as it stands. The theme is motion towards a spiritual reality. We know that there had to be a way to get the Ashynites to Roshar. There was a way to destroy a whole planet, from which the whole remainder of the planet went (minus stragglers and tough-it-outers). What if those were somehow one and the same? The Dawnshards, let's suppose, were a means of Spiritual transit like the Oathgates are for Shadesmar, but that as they were used, they began to devastate the surface of Ashyn.

Without the Dawnshards, then, no one can open a perpendicularity in a controlled state such that stable "transit" to Odium's Spiritweb "pocket dimension" is possible. So without the Dawnshards, the Rosharans seem doomed. However, they also pose an immense risk in themselves (just like the Choedan Kal, as it turns out!).

This would also explain why people think of Ashyn as the Tranquiline Halls: the Dawnshard-temple-gateway structures were the Halls.

QED?

[P.S.: this amounts to a prediction that at some point the characters might open a portal to Odium's Spiritweb, via a Dawnshard, and try to "attack" him using mass power Surges which would be an interesting scene, but I imagine that this would be like when they fire that super-laser at Sephiroth/Meteor in FF7...]

EDIT: [to the above scene possibility prediction: but maybe they could send the spren into the portal. Let's imagine that they try to channel the Everstorm and the highstorm at the same time, through the Dawnshard, into Odium, but this doesn't work (like it didn't work to laser-hit Sephiroth/Meteor), makes things worse maybe even, so voila a deluge of spren appears to flood through the gate into Odium, to transpower his idea that he is "Passion" (since the spren are passions, if you will), which might be like

Spoiler

the Lifestream saving the world at the end of FF7 too

EDIT 2:

Revised theory: the Dawnshards are the ten maximums of ten types of magic object. So a maximum Blade, a maximum Plate, a maximum Soulcaster, a maximum Oathgate, ... although I can't clearly think of ten types of magic objects in the SA, as such...
