Forest of Eternal Night

The Forest of Eternal Night is a forest located somewhere in Europe. By 1094, it was home to Walter Bernhard (in his castle) and Rinaldo Gandolfi (in his hut). The forest was perpetually shrouded in darkness, and was used by Bernhard in his cat-and-mouse games with unfortunate victims.

The forest lay outside of Lord Belmont's domain. In 1094, an army of monsters sent by Bernhard entered Belmont's land. Belmont's betrothed, Sara Trantoul, was kidnapped. Belmont renounced his title to go into the forest and save her. After Bernhard was destroyed, light returned to the forest.

As it is not known whether Bernhard's castle became Castlevania, it is also not known if the Forest of Eternal Night becomes the Forest of Silence and/or the Forest of Doom.
