Soon after the discovery of the Forests of Hell, a mysterious force known as the [[Evil]] appeared on the larger continent of Threnody.{{au ref|Threnody}} Its exact origin is uncertain, but the Evil consumed the entire continent of mankind, according to legend it feasted on the souls of the humans that lived there. Whatever the truth is, the panicked survivors of the Evil were forced to flee their continent across the ocean to the continent that contains the Forests of Hell.{{book ref|sfs}} They came lacking some essential resources, but they brought with them records of their life back on their old continent.{{au ref|Threnody}} Aided by the Forescouts that already inhabited the Forests, the refugees gradually settled into the Forests, constructing several Fortress Cities in the mountains of the continent and homesteads in the Forests themselves.{{book ref|sfs}}
Around a century later, humanity had recovered somewhat, settling into an uneasy equilibrium with the shades in their new home.{{book ref|sfs}} They still remained fearful that the Evil will cross the ocean at some point in the future and finish wiping out humanity.{{au ref|Threnody}} The new continent and the Forests are still largely unmapped and unexplored. There were a handful of expeditions that went back to their original continent, but none have returned. Despite the records the refugees brought with them, the Fallen World and Evil have slipped into the realm of legend. Over
There was at least one visit onto the planet by a [[Worldhopper]].{{au ref|Threnody}} [[Khriss]] has been to the Forests of Hell and spent some time there, guided by her assisstant [[Nazh]], who is a Threnodite himself. Khriss was interested in the world and the shades, but as of yet has not had time for extended study of the world and its Investiture.
