'''Glowpaste''' is a [[wikipedia: fluorescence|fluorescent]] substance found on [[Threnody]].{{book ref|sfs}}
As kindling a fire would immediately enrage the ever-present [[shade]]s, typically fire was not used for illumination in the Forests.{{book ref|sfs}} The inhabitants of the Forests relied on glowpaste, a liquid that once mixed and would provide a dim, but steady, pale green light. Glowpaste was often placed in glass jars that were tied to poles, serving as lanterns. When the user wanted the light extinguished, they simply covered the jar with a black covering.
There were two variants of glowpaste.{{book ref|sfs}} The more common type was far brighter. The other variant, known as '''Abraham's Fire''' was far dimmer. It had an added benefit, though, in that its light made [[wetleek]] sap glow in the dark.
[[Silence Montane]] made use of glowpaste when hunting bounties, both to light her way and to follow the trail left behind by horses that had drunk wetleek sap mixed with water.{{book ref|sfs}}
