Werewolves' Forest

The Werewolves' Forest (の森, Veavorufu no Mori), sometimes called the "Cursed Forest,"Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 86, page 3 is an ominous, occult forest located in Southern Germany; it is regarded as a taboo by the inhabitants nearby.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 86, page 16 Sieglinde Sullivan proclaims herself as the lord of this forest.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 86, page 19
==Overview==
The dark, misty forest is covered chiefly by trees and undergrowth. Compasses are rendered useless within it.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 87, page 8 Sebastian Michaelis notes that it is eerily silent, has a startling lack of animals, and contains a disconcertingly heavy atmosphere.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 89, page 29 An oppressive miasma embraces the area, and is somehow connected with the Witch's Curse (see below).Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 90, page 26
The village crone stalks the vast area to warn intruders about the werewolves that supposedly protect the forest. Intruders who do not heed the hag's warnings would often encounter a werewolf and contract the Witch's Curse.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 86, pages 4-6
A certain village, Wolfsschlucht, is located in the midst of the forest, consisting of a cluster of country cottages that look to be abandoned at first glance, but are well-maintained.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 87, page 13 Women constitute the entirety of the residents; these women dress in 16th century German clothing.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 87, page 15 They recognize "Master Sullivan" as their lord.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 87, page 16
===Witch's Curse===
A peculiar condition affects people of different age and gender who have entered the Werewolves' Forest. Perfectly healthy people would suddenly become grotesquely deformed;Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 86, page 12 their faces would swell and their skins would appear to "melt,"Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 86, page 13 and would usually die afterwards. There are no signs of wounds or a contagious or chronic disease going about, but locals have claimed that it is the "witch's curse" at fault.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 86, pages 15-16 Reportedly, there is one survivor of the "witch's curse," but has become irremediably insane.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 87, pages 4-5
If one one is to see the werewolf in the forest, he would begin to shed tears uncontrollably.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 89, page 30 Blood would swiftly ensue, and the skin would distend and develop odd bumps.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 89, page 34 Later, Sieglinde Sullivan discloses that the mysterious miasma in the Werewolves' Forest embodies the "evil spirit" that the werewolf emits. Upon contact, it has detrimental effects, and the only thing that can purify the curse is a secret medicine made by the Emerald Witch.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 90, pages 30-31
