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

 

== Nature of The Evil ==

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.{{qa ref|1086|11|There's not a Shard there but there are interesting things happening.}} It certainly seems to have caused widespread death and destruction.{{book ref|sfs}} It is apparently dangerous enough to cause an entire population to abandon their original continent and flee to the [[Forests of Hell]], a place they once considered to be realm of the damned. The possibility remains that it is a [[Splinter]] of sort, but that seems unlikely. It has something to do with the same natural magic of the [[cosmere]] and the [[Cognitive Realm|cognitive shadows]] that have to do with the [[shade]]s.{{qa ref|1052|22|Since the evil on Threnody isn't a Shard, can you tell us anything about its actual nature?}}
