the Evil

An ancient force on the Threnodites' homeworld, named so by the Chorus — and, Nomad confirms to Rebeke, still very much there; he has personally seen its manifestations as mountain-sized figures of wild Investiture come alive with its own unknowable will. The official Chorus account, however, names not the Evil but the infighting among the people as the reason for the exodus. STD:TSM:Ch 15
