I have another theory about the Shards here, but this is something else.
According to a new preview by the TourianTourist (if you haven't read it, it's on the homepage) the Gear menu features slots for Shards, called "broken slates" here, that fit inside the Godess Statue.
We've heard about these Shards before, but now with a new detail:
This reminded me of something I read in another preview, which has gone mostly unnoticed:
From G4tv.com's playthrough:
Now, it seems to me that the first Shard/"broken slate" is the "piece of stone" used to open the Portal to Faron Woods. It fits together perfectly, since the Shard also has a green crystal, corresponding with the green beam.
This means that the Shards will be needed to open portals to Hyrule.
It also means that there won't be 3 provinces, like previously thought, but 4! If every Shard opens a province, 4 Shards would mean 4 provinces!
Of course, the last Shard could also unlock something else, like the dome of clouds up in Skyloft or something similar.
What do you guys think?

On upper right side there was a space for four broken slates. I asked what they were good for and the Nintendo employee could only tell me that you had to collect these early in the game and that they were inserted into the Goddess statue. But the first slate had a green crystal on it.

Using a piece of stone, Link is able to open a green beam of light which appears in the clouds
