The origin of the human population is unknown, but it predates Ambition's arrival. They populated the larger of the two continents, later known as the [[Fallen World]], building a technologically advanced culture that got at least as far as developing gunpowder.{{book ref\|sfs}} Threnodite explorers discovered the smaller, more heavily-forested continent on their world, which was populated predominantly by shades. The horrified explorers called the area the [[Forests of Hell]], believing the shades to be the spirits of the damned. A very few settlers, called the [[Forescout]]s, were the first to colonize the newly-discovered continent. Some time later, the Shard [[Odium]] arrived in the system, intent on killing Ambition.{{au ref\|Threnody}} The two Shards fought in interplanetary space, battling on all three [[Realmatic Theory\|Realms]]. Odium tore chunks of Investiture off Ambition during the fight, mortally wounding the other Shard. These broken chunks of power twisted every planet in the system, including Threnody and its people. Ambition fled the system, pursued by Odium. {{quote \| The smaller continent is a frontier, mostly unexplored and unnamed, with several bastions of civilization. I have visited one of the largest of these, and even it feels unfinished—set up haphazardly by refugees fleeing across the ocean, lacking some basic necessities. They focused on making it a fortress first, and a home second. \| Khriss's essay on the Threnodite ~~System~~system{{au ref\|Threnody}} }} == Planetary System == :''Main article: [[Threnodite ~~System~~system]]'' Threnody is the the third planet in the Threnodite system, located between the planets of Elegy and Purity, orbiting a red star.{{map ref\|Threnodite system}} The planet itself has no moon. Visible in the night sky of Threnody is an unusually bright patch of stars, called '''Starbelt'''.{{book ref\|sfs}} It is useful for navigation in the [[Forests of Hell]] during the night; the light usually filters through the trees fairly well. The Starbelt is the same patch of unusually bright stars that is visible from Scadrial and other worlds in the Cosmere.{{wob ref\|6089}}{{wob ref\|3363}}
