Darkling woods (Japanese: 闇の樹海 Dark Forest) is a location in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones and is located on the continent of Magvel. Darkling woods is not located within the borders of any country, though Carcino is to the west and Rausten is to the east of the forest.

Darkling Woods is the resting place of the Demon King's corpse. Legends say that his body is not actually dead, but waiting for the return of its soul.[1] The Demon King's corpse rested within the Black Temple until it was destroyed[2] in the events of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.

When the Demon King fell 803 years ago, his blood and flesh corrupted the earth and plants of the forest.[3] This corruption is what creates countless hordes of monsters that arise from the region.[4] There are no human settlements in the region, the only creatures that live there are monsters and a few manakete.
