Unlike some of the other worlds where full Shards of Adonalsium are present, such as [[Roshar]] or [[Scadrial]], there is no active manifestation of Investiture that humans can make use of themselves.{{wob ref|6889}} The investiture on Threnody takes the form of [[shade]]s, barely conscious Cognitive Shadows of human spirits.{{au ref|Threnody}} They take the form of a translucent white figures that wander the Forests.{{book ref|sfs}} They are not innately aggressive, but respond violently to any violations of the [[Simple Rules]], which will enrage them to violence. The body of anyone a shade touches is withered and if the contact is bad enough, the person will die and occasionally return as a shade themselves. The only thing that is able to combat shades is silver. It is unknown whether or not silver on Threnody is Invested in any way. The Evil is also related to Cogntive Shadows in some way, but specifically how is still uncertain.{{wob ref|7726}}
