Unlike some of the other worlds in the cosmere where full Shards of Adonalsium are present, such as [[Roshar]] or [[Scadrial]], Threnody has no active manifestation of Investiture that humans can use themselves.{{wob ref|6889}} The Investiture on Threnody takes the form of [[shade]]s, barely conscious Cognitive Shadows of human spirits{{au ref|Threnody}} that appear as translucent white figures that wander the Forests.{{book ref|sfs}} They are not innately aggressive, but become enraged and respond violently to any violations of the Simple Rules. Any flesh that a shade touches becomes black and withered, and if the contact is bad enough, the person will die and occasionally return as a shade themselves. The only thing that is able to combat shades is silver. It is unknown whether or not silver on Threnody is Invested in any way. The Evil is also related to Cognitive Shadows in some way, but specifically how is still uncertain.{{wob ref|7726}}
