== Geography and Ecology ==
The planet itself contains two large continents separated by an ocean.{{au ref|Threnody}} There is nothing known about the larger of the two continents, although it is the original homeland of humans on Threnody.{{book ref|sfs}} It is known as the [[Fallen World]] and contains [[Homeland]]. It The smaller of the two continents is nearly entirely covered by the deciduous [[Forests of Hell]], along with rivers, some unforested mountains and caves.{{au ref|Threnody}}{{book ref|sfs}} Fortress Cities have been built in these mountainous regions, while homesteads and waystops dot the Forests themselves, connected by primitive roads.{{book ref|sfs}} Silver appears to be an abundant resource on this continent, although it still remains valuable due to its usefulness.
 
There are a wide variety of herbivores in the Forests including rodents, deer, birds, rabbits, and turkeys.{{book ref|sfs}} Hogs are kept by some of the inhabitants of the Forests, but they are not eaten. Due to the nature of the [[Simple Rules]], there are no predators within the Forests, if any ever existed. Anyone, predator or human that spills blood draws the attention of the dangerous shades, so any predators that once inhabited the Forests are long dead. The [[shade]]s are the most populous creatures within the Forests. These limit population growth of humans and animal species alike by restricting them with the [[Simple Rules]]. Any that breaks these rules, regardless of their intentions, will be attacked and killed. Several important plants that grow in the Forests include [[fenweed]], which can be used as a poison, and [[wetleek]]s, whose sap glows under the light of a specific type of [[glowpaste]]. There are also large fields of pale white mushrooms which grow in the Forests. The Forests themselves are said to be unnaturally quiet, particularly at night.
