The Poem of Ista is ancient poetry from Roshar.
It mentioned Dawnshards and their ability to bind creatures and a temple surrounded by very tall steps. The section mentioning these things was extracted by Jasnah Kholin in one of her notebooks.[1]
“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. ”
“The Poem of Ista. I have found no modern explanation of what these "Dawnshards" are. They seem ignored by scholars, though talk of them was obviously prevalent among those recording the early mythologies. ”
