(I don't think the incidental appearances and mention in TLM, Stormlight, or Yumi rise to the level of "Featured In." Tress is a closer call--Xisis plays a significant role, but we still don't see the fainlife as an ecosystem. Ultimately, my thought is to include Tress at least for now, since we've seen so little fainlife, with the understanding that it may become less helpful to include if/when we get a book that features a fain ecosystem more prominently)

Though it originated on Yolen, the fain ecosystem has spread beyond that planet in significant ways.{{wob ref|15333}}{{wob ref|15686}} 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]] is able to mention without further explanation that "of course" this means the non-fain parts.{{au ref|scadrial}}

In one''[[The versionLiar of [[Dragonsteel Prime|Partinel]]''Dragonsteel'' Prime]], the fainlife had rapidly grown to cover much of the planet, though humans eventually learned to keep it in check with something known as a '''trune ring''';{{wob ref|7825}}{{wob ref|13991}} '''trune''' was the name given to the regular, non-fain ecosystem.{{wob ref|14409‎}} A type of fainlife known as '''skullmoss''' heralded the advance of further fainlife. Its leaves would sometimes drift across a trune ring and some cities would gather them up and burn them, though this was not strictly necessary. Merely interacting with the fainlife was safe and some cities even used fain wood for construction, but eating any amount of fainlife was deadly to humans.{{wob ref|13991}}
 
In a different version of[[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}}
