Difference between revisions of "Evil"

Despite the fact that less than a century had passed since the Evil made its appearance on Threnody, the true nature of the Evil had already become surrounded by myths and legends by the time that [[Silence Montane]] ran her [[Silence's waystop|waystop]].{{book ref|sfs}} Some of the [[Forescout]]s, such as [[Silence's grandmother]] believed that one day they would be the ones to destroy the Evil. Others, who told stories about the [[White Fox]], said that he had been to the Fallen World and shaken hands with the Evil there.

It is difficult to ascertain precisely what the Evil is and what it did. What is known for certain is that it is not a full Shard.{{wob ref|5808}} It certainly seems to have the ability to cause widespread death and destruction.{{book ref|sfs}} It is apparently dangerous enough to cause an entire population to abandon its original continent and flee to the land containing [[Forests of Hell]], a place considered to be the realm of the damned. A chunk of [[Ambition]] is ripped off here by [[Odium]], so the possibility remains that it is a [[Splinter]] of sort. It has something to do with the same natural magic of the [[cosmere]] and the [[cognitive shadow]]s that have to do with the [[shade]]s.{{wob ref|7726}}
