The '''Evil''' is a semi-mythological being on [[Threnody]], the [[Shardworld]] that contains the [[Forests of Hell]].{{book ref|sfs}}

Sometime after the people of Threnody discovered the continent that contains the [[Forests of Hell]], an unknown cataclysm occurred in their Homeland.{{book ref|sfs}} A being or force referred to only as the Evil appeared and somehow managed to kill the majority of people living on their continent. The survivors were desperate enough to flee across the ocean to the Forests that they had once believed to be hell, where the [[Forescout]]s had already began to settle. The Forescouts helped care for the refugees and acclimatize them to their new home, coexisting with the [[shade]]s and following the [[Simple Rules]]. Much of the government, cultures, and technology of the old continent, what was now called the [[Fallen World]] was lost. Ideals such as justice, kindness, or moral living became things of the past, worship of the [[God Beyond]] became less common, and much knowledge, such as the use of gunpowder was nearly forgotten in the Forests. The people who survived in the Forests were a harsh, hardy people that focused more on practicalities and less on things such as love and family.
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.
