“Why, I’ve never told you the story of the Demon of Latari Forest?" -Edina, House Of Blades

History

Latari Forest is rumored to be the home of a demon generally known as 'Forest Demon'. However, later on we comes to know that the Forest Demon is just a legend about the Latari Forest likely created by a handful of people who witnessed Valinhall Travelers.

In 350th Year of the Damascan Calendar Simon and his family suffers a tragedy while travelling through the forest when two Enosh travelers kills the father and almost does the same to his mother if they weren't rescued by a mysterious figure (later revealed to be Indrial). Travelers are killed by the supposed Forest Demon who afterward apologies for not being able to come sooner. With his father dead and his mother in a damaged state Simon returns to his village but not before swearing to come back to the forest, so he could learn from the Forest Demon.

The tragedy of Kalman and Edina kept the villagers away from the Latari Forest for the following years.

After some years, Simon returns to the forest to seek out the stranger who saved him, but finds someone else instead: a madman named Kai who talks to dolls. Kai takes Simon as an apprentice and lets him into Valinhall where he learns the secrets of becoming a Valinhall Traveler.

Kai is said to be either in the Vallinhall or in the Latari Forest which he recognizes as being the only thing that kept him sane.
