Though it originated on Yolen, fainlife has spread off of that planet in significant ways.{{wob ref|15333}} Knowledge of its existence is not uncommon among [[cosmere]]-aware people after the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]]; when discussing how [[Ruin]] and [[Preservation]] used the Yolish ecosystem as a model for [[Scadrial]], [[Khriss]] was able to mention without further explanation that "of course" this means the non-fain parts.{{au ref|scadrial}}
