Elior Forest

Location from Re:Zero by Tappei Nagatsuki

A frozen forest sealed in eternal ice — where Emilia grew up alone among the frozen bodies of everyone she ever loved, watched over by a spirit who chose to protect her by erasing the world around her.

Elior Forest is a graveyard that pretends to be a fairy tale. The trees are crystallized in ice, the light filters through frozen canopy in prismatic shards, and the silence is absolute because everything that lived here was flash-frozen over a century ago. The elves who inhabited the forest — Emilia's people — stand in the ice like statues, perfectly preserved and completely unreachable. Puck sealed the forest after the catastrophe, creating a barrier of eternal winter to protect Emilia and preserve what remained. Emilia grew up here alone, talking to frozen bodies, building snow sculptures, and slowly forgetting what warmth felt like. She doesn't remember what happened — the event that froze everything is locked behind a mental seal — but the guilt is in her bones regardless. Elior Forest is the reason Emilia flinches when people call her a witch. It's the reason she tries so hard to save everyone. It's the place that made her kind, and the place that broke her first.
