The '''Chorus''' is a term for groups of contained [[shade]]s on [[Canticle]].{{book ref|tsm|22}} The shades in the Chorus display significant differences from normal [[Threnody|Threnodite]] shades.
They are kept in a specialized, open glass drum on the largest ships towards the middle of settlements.{{book ref|tsm|48}}{{book ref|tsm|22}} Those in the Chorus are able to be divided among settlements by transferring some of the smoke from their Reliquary, which is done with the founding of any new settlement. They display significant differences from normal shades.▼

Canticlites believe that the people who die without being given to the sun join the Chorus. They sometimes see mist gather after a death, which then moves to the Reliquary. This belief likely originates with the Chorus itself, as it tells how it is made of those who first died on Canticle and that others must be given to the sun to prevent the small planet from becoming overrun with shades.{{book ref|tsm|22}} However, this belief is erroneous, as those who die on Canticle, from the sun or otherwise, are actually converted into [[Sunheart|sunhearts]] and do not become part of the Chorus.{{wob ref|16344}} It is unclear if the Chorus is intentionally lying, if it is ignorant of the system's mechanics, or if something has changed since it was created of which it is not aware.
Each Chorus holds the history of those who fled to the planet, and they are also instrumental in keeping the Canticlites alive.{{book ref|TSM|22}}{{book ref|TSM|15}}

Despite being Threnodite [[Cognitive Shadow]]s in origin, The Chorus claim that they are not shades, citing their ability to remember as a significant difference.{{book ref|tsm|22}} This may be a result of the unique Connection properties between groups of Canticlites.
===Fabrication===
Arguably the most notable function of the Chorus is the ability to fabricate nearly anything from raw materials after observing relevant blueprints or schematics--the process bearing resemblance to the methods living [[Shardblade|
