|There is an original, shrouded and hidden somewhere in the cosmere. I've yet to find it, but I '''have''' found stories.
 
== Geography and Ecology ==
Very little is known about Yolish geography, other than that it has some unusual features.{{wob ref|3377}} Its gravity and other measurements are considered the '''cosmere standard''', also called the '''galactic standard''', by [[cosmere]]-aware scholars like [[Khriss]] and [[Nomad]].{{au ref|Scadrian}}{{book ref|tsm|19}} Its ecology is divided into two distinct parts. Parts of it are similar to post-[[Catacendre]] [[Scadrial]], with similar flora and fauna. These parts are called '''trune'''.{{wob ref|14409}} Other parts are covered in '''fainlife''', a poorly-understood, parasitic ecosystem hostile to humans.{{au ref|Scadrian}}{{wob ref|7825}} Although fain has the shape of ordinary flora, the plants and land overtaken by it are bone-white.{{book ref|tsm|10}} There is something similar to a [[perpendicularity]] on Yolen, despite the lack of a Shard.{{wob ref|14885}}
 
One form of known fainlife are Tamu Keks, which are similar to singer gemhearts,{{wob ref|10319}} and can be used for inter-Realmatic communication.{{wob ref|14644}}

* Yolen has Earth-like physical parameters, that is to say, its gravity and radius are comparable to Earth.{{au ref|scadrial}}{{wob ref|669}}
