Lorn's Artificial Forest

Lorn's Artificial Forest appears in Red Rising.

Lorn's Artificial Forest first appears as a hidden training ground in Golden Son, where the retired Peerless Scarred Lorn au Arcos mentors Darrow in the lost art of razor combat. Over the course of the series, the forest transforms from a private sanctuary into a symbol of resistance, hosting clandestine meetings and serving as a refuge for those fleeing the rising war. Its artificial nature—lush trees and wildlife contained within a domed habitat—mirrors the constructed illusions of Gold society, while its eventual destruction underscores the cost of rebellion.
