Lore
Deep in a forest with many names lies a hidden home. The family that once lived there was dependent on the forest... and was broken by it. More than a century old, the dwelling is in surprisingly good condition, though it shows signs of often being patched and mended. The forest holds the house tightly in its grasp, growing over and around it like a second skin. Only once inside is it clear that someone still lives there. It is warm and welcoming and lovingly decorated, with a large living space, a bedroom and a corner dedicated for little ones. Here they are protected from the harsh winter of the northern forest.

Trivia
- In the Game files, the Red Forest Realm is being referred to under the name Boreal.
Origin
- The Red Forest is the area surrounding Chornobyl, within the radioactive exclusion zone that was created after the city's power plant melted down in 1986.
- According to the Huntress' Lore, which wraps up with stating that "[...] German soldiers began to pass through, on the march to attack the collapsing Russian Empire. [...]" this is confirmed to be the very same location, with Anna's story taking place before and during World War I.
- However, The Red Forest did not actually acquire its current nickname until after the Chornobyl disaster, since it was the radioactive fallout from it that resulted in the reddish-brown colour of the decayed, surrounding flora.
- Considering that the meltdown did not occur until 1986, Dead by Daylight's use of the nickname in direct association with her Lore poses an anachronism (unless they are referring to it in general rather than directly associating it with her).
