Is there a Dawnshard in Aimia?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes. Well, there definitely has been a Dawnshard in Aimia in the past, that is why it has been protected so well, obviously. Maybe it is still there and maybe not, that is an open question for now.
Are Dawnshards the same thing as Honorblades?
...and, RAFO.
Pagerunner
Um, Dawnshards. So, they obviously predate the arrival of humanity on Roshar. Are they of Odium? Are they Odious Investiture?
Brandon Sanderson
I will RAFO Dawnshards.
Hoidonalsium
Is the sapphire in the white-gold blade specifically for Jezrien?
Brandon Sanderson
Uh, yes.
Hoidonalsium
Do the gems swap out, or are there different weapons?
Brandon Sanderson
I'll RAFO that one.
Hoidonalsium
Are they Dawnshards? Or blades of Odium, like Honorblades?
Brandon Sanderson
Those are not Dawnshards. Good question.
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
The knife used by Moash is "something similar to hemalurgy."

Is it a Dawnshard?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Good question but no.
Curtis
Could you write something about Dawnshards that we don't/won't know?
Brandon
One Dawnshard is different from all the rest.
Questioner
Could you give any insights as to what the Dawnshards are?
Brandon Sanderson
Um......(long pause)...
Questioner
Am I gonna get a RAFO?
Brandon Sanderson
Nyeaaa it's it's..nyeaa I dunno, do you think? You know what the Dawnshards are right? We haven't talked about that? Ok, I thought we had. Um. We'll RAFO it for now. But good question.
Other person
It's an excellent question. And we have not yet talked about that. I was like...answer that, answer that!
Questioner
I was trying to think of questions that could get me very close to being RAFO'd, but not quite RAFO'd.
Brandon Sanderson
Yeah, that was a good one, you were close to not getting RAFO'd, on that. Coz I do want to talk about it at some point.

Are there Dawnshards that aren't swords? The Parshindi person had a unique looking sword, so will we see any that in a spear for Kaladin or any other weapon?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. :)
Blightsong
The whole Radiant/Light motif fits naming their Sprenblades 'Dawnshards'.
The term 'Shards' in-world have almost exclusively been in the context of Shardblades or Shardplate. I don't see why they would name a fabrial something in a way that breaks the pattern.
Y'know, if I'm right this wouldn't even really be a spoiler for Brandon to confirm. Maybe the main man u/mistborn could weigh in?
Brandon Sanderson
The nature of the Dawnshards will become (slightly) more clear as the series progresses. For now, RAFO.
Punzi

Have we seen a Dawnshard in any Cosmere book?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes and no. *hands RAFO card*
Cheese Ninja

How do Bondsmiths use the Dawnshards?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
RAFO.
