Spirit Forest is a location in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, located in Verdane and featured in Chapter 1. It is here that Saint Maira and his descendents hid from the world due to their perceived connection with the much hated and feared Lopto Empire of old, and where Deirdre, the last of those descendants, was born to Cigyun shortly before her death. During the retaliatory attack on Verdane by Sigurd's army, he met Deirdre, falling in love with her. Deirdre then joined Sigurd and his army as they advanced toward Verdane Castle.
