Soon after the discovery of the Forests of Hell, a mysterious force known as the [[Evil]] appeared on the larger continent of Threnody.{{au ref|Threnody}} Its exact origin is uncertain, but the Evil consumed the entire continent of mankind, according to legend it feasted on the souls of the humans that lived there. Whatever the truth is, the panicked survivors of the Evil were forced to flee their continent across the ocean to the continent that contains the Forests of Hell.{{book ref|sfs}} They came lacking some essential resources, but they brought with them records of their life back on their old continent.{{au ref|Threnody}} Aided by the Forescouts that already inhabited the Forests, the refugees gradually settled into the Forests, constructing several Fortress Cities in the mountains of the continent and homesteads in the Forests themselves.{{book ref|sfs}}

Little is known about the cultures of the nations that once existed on the [[Fallen World]], as they were destroyed in their entirety.{{book ref|sfs}} The people of a place that is now simply called [[Homeland]] worshiped the [[God Beyond]], basing a religion around it. They symbolized this religion with a dagger, which was often made of silver and carved with symbols of divinity. They also made small shrines to their god. This religion was still practiced in the Forests by some, who have adapted it to fit recent events. Some people, such as [[Silence's grandmother]], believe that the coming of the Evil was a part of the God Beyond's plan and that the Forescouts are destined to one day return to the Fallen World and defeat the Evil there. Others, such as [[Silence Montane]] dismiss these notions as mere superstition.

=== Homesteaders ===

''See also [[Forests of Hell]]''

}}

The Threnodites who homestead the Forests of Hell are a tough, practical people.{{book ref|sfs}} They are more focused on survival than anything else, and have little time for sentimentality and emotion. The forestborn are much more at home with the Forests and the shades than the fortfolk. Most cannot afford enough silver to fully encircle their homes and lands, so they live among the shades, some even enter their homes, and the Simple Rules are just a way of life. Even the Homesteaders do not care for traveling the forests at night, but they accept that at times they will have to do so. They often live in large family groups of up to a dozen. Homesteaders wear plain clothing and eat simple foods, such as gravied venison and beer. One can often tell a Homesteader by the way they walk, in a deliberate slow pace that will not draw the shades. The Homesteaders are an independent group, they have a deep dissatisfaction with the fortfolk, who they feel have broken their commitments, unfairly taxing them while failing to properly maintain and patrol the roads. They view the fortdwellers as prim and soft, unable to survive in the Forests. The Homesteaders tend to not want anything to do with the forts, they do not believe that they need their help. Many people that live in the Forests are technically criminals for dodging the taxes levied on them by the forts. Homesteaders know that their lives are harder and more dangerous than the fortfolk, but they value their freedom more than anything. Forestborn are often a superstitious people as well, they believe that hogs ward away shades and refuse to eat them. Many people are afraid to touch those that have been disfigured by shades, fearing the taint of their touch.

=== Technology ===

Before the arrival of the Evil, the people of Homeland had discovered gunpowder.{{book ref|sfs}} However once humankind fled from its influence much knowledge was left behind. Technological innovation has been rather stifled in the Forests by the Simple Rules, specifically the rule against kindling fire. This has rendered technologies such as firestarters or gunpowder nearly useless in the Forests, although myths of gunpowder's explosive properties remain. It has also restricted the development of any sort of combustion related technologies, such as a steam engine. Any and all fire must be provided by a fire merchant, so once they are kindled most fires are never allowed to go out. The Threnodites have also developed an alternative light source to fire, due to the difficulties with lighting fires in the Forests.{{book ref|sfs}} They make use of a material called [[glowpaste]], which provides a soft blue light and makes shades glow as well. They have also domesticated several species of animals on this planet, including horses and dogs which they make use of in their everyday life.{{book ref|sfs}} They have also domesticated hogs, turkeys, and rabbits, which are raised and carefully slaughtered for food.

Prior to Odium's clash with Ambition, there was some other form of Investiture already in existence, but its precise origin is still unknown.{{au ref|Threnody}} It may simply be a natural manifestation of Investiture, or it could be related to Ambition. It is uncertain whether this Investiture still exists.
