Darkling Woods is the resting place of the [[Fomortiis|Demon King]]'s corpse. Legends say that his body is not actually dead, but waiting for the return of its soul.<ref>{{cite|Legend says the Demon King’s corpse lies there still, not dead but dreaming. Dreaming of when the last stone is crushed, and he will rise from his bed of rocks and worms and return to the surface.|Chapter Narration|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> The Demon King's corpse rested within the Black Temple until it was destroyed<ref>{{cite|No, we’ve done far more than the legends ever told. We’ve destroyed the Demon King’s body. He can never come back.|[[Innes]]|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> in the events of {{FE8}}.

When the Demon King fell 803 years ago, his blood and flesh corrupted the earth and plants of the forest.<ref>{{cite|According to legend. the original possessors of the Sacred Stones defeated the Demon King in Darkling Woods. His foul blood seeped into the land, corrupting every seed and every root. The once-pristine forest was transformed by the flood of disease and venom.|Chapter Narration|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> This corruption is what creates countless hordes of [[monsters]] that arise from the region.<ref>{{cite|No… Those things come from Darkling Woods. It’s been a long time since they’ve wandered this far afield.|[[Saleh]]|The Sacred Stones}}</ref> There are no human settlements in the region, the only creatures that live there are monsters and a few [[manakete]].

Darkling Woods, as its name suggests, consists mostly of thick forests. The region is incredibly dense in plant matter and there are many swamps. The area is also mountainous, with many cave systems where monsters, like [[gargoyle]]s, manifest. The volcanic [[Mt. Neleras]] is also located within the borders of Darkling Woods.
