| - A very nondescript forest located on the outskirts of Stormfist. This forest was apparently used by Gizel Godwin and Sialeeds Falenas when they were children. A favorite game of theirs was to lose their bodyguards and hide in the forest. Thus, years of playing this "game", Sialeeds knew the trails of the Western Woods very well. She revealed this interesting memory during a more recent incursion into the woods with Freyjadour Falenas, Lyon, Georg Prime, and Belcoot. The woods were used by Gizel's lackeys in kidnapping and hiding Marina, so Belcoot would not participate in the Sacred Games after such a strong showing on the first day. Part of Gizel's plot to take over the Queendom of Falena involved eliminating any perceived threat that could damage the chances of his Sacred Games entry, Childerich, from winning the tournament for the House of Godwin. While Marina was eventually found and rescued, Gizel's right hand, Dolph, made sure Marina would drug Belcoot before the final match, thus finally securing Gizel's victory over the Sacred Games. After Marina was freed from the cabin in the forest, the path was later used to infiltrate Stormfist when the Loyalist Army sought to liberate the city from Godwin control.
