The '''fain''' or '''fainlife''' is a class of lifeforms on [[Yolen]].{{au ref|scadrial
Two of the three sapient species from Yolen, the [[Sho Del]] and [[Dragon (cosmere)|dragons]], are fain;{{wob ref|9676}}{{wob ref|16020}} the Sho Del fill the same niche in the fain ecosystem that humans fill in the normal one.{{wob ref|14342}} Another form of fainlife is [[Tamu Kek]]s, bones that are somehow similar to [[singer]] [[gemheart]]s and can be used for inter-[[Realmatic Theory|Realm]] communication in some way.{{wob ref|10319}}{{wob ref|14644}}
In [[Dragonsteel Prime|''Dragonsteel'' Prime]], the Yolish version of the [[Shattered Plains]] was the only connection between the fain and non-fain parts of the world. At the Shattered Plains, Sho Del fought humans for a material known as Dragonsteel. According to [[Jerick]], at least some Sho Del had also made it past the Shattered Plains and killed civilians, and had attempted to kill his king.{{bws ref|page=dragonsteel-prime-chapter-31-bridge-four-4|text=''Dragonsteel'' Prime Chapter 31|date=2017-10-11}} In this draft, Tamu Keks were long, thin bones that came to a point at both ends that could be found on Sho Del; Jerick was able to sense the power coming off them and warned one of his companions not to touch them.{{bws ref|page=dragonsteel-prime-chapter-33-bridge-four-5|text=''Dragonsteel'' Prime Chapter 33|date=2017-10-16}}
In the non-canonical work ''The Traveler'' fainlife is described as looking like ordinary flora, though the plants and land overtaken by it are bone-white.{{wob ref|9518}}
