The Evil Forest.

Plants that attack people... I guess they don't call it Evil Forest for nothin'.

Tantalus Theater Troupe's cymbalist

The Evil Forest (魔の森, Ma no Mori?) is a location in the game Final Fantasy IX. It completely fills a vast valley just south of Alexandria, with the Ceebell River running through it. It has a tendency to petrify often, and is inhabited by dangerous plants, probably resulting from Mist.

Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Blank, petrified in Evil Forest.

When Tantalus tried to escape Alexandria with Princess Garnet in the Prima Vista, Queen Brahne fired cannonballs at the ship, shooting it down. It landed in the Evil Forest, and the passengers were scattered. Garnet and Vivi were caught by a Prison Cage, and Zidane and Steiner tried to rescue them. They succeeded in rescuing Vivi, but not Garnet.

However, Steiner and Vivi contract a poison from the plant and return with Zidane to the Prima Vista crash site where Marcus, Blank, and Cinna are tending to the survivors. Benero and Zenero hold an uncooperative Steiner prisoner, and Blank and Zidane help Vivi. Zidane wants to save Garnet, but his boss Baku refuses to let him do it, saying that Tantalus needs to be safe before the princess.

As a result, Zidane fights Baku for the right to leave Tantalus and rescue Garnet. He wins the fight, and Baku lets him go. Blank gives Zidane some medicine for her, and he sets off with Vivi and Steiner. Baku sends Blank after them with a Continental Map soon after. Blank arrives just in time to help Zidane, Vivi, and Steiner rescue Garnet from the Plant Brain.

However, the defeat of the Plant Brain causes the whole forest to become unstable, and it begins to turn to stone. Zidane and his friends have to escape in seven minutes, while they are pursued by many Plant Spiders. Blank pushes Zidane away from the clutches of one of the monsters and gets petrified himself, along with the rest of the forest. Before his sacrifice, he throws a Continental Map at the last second. Zidane recovers with Steiner, Vivi, and Garnet, and they leave the next morning to head for the Ice Cavern.

Later on in disc 2, Marcus retrieves the Supersoft from a Treno nobleman and returns to the forest to rescue Blank, who makes a full recovery.

Spoilers end here.

How Ya Doin'?
From Ruby to Zidane Zidane! Are you alright? I'm doin' good. I met an interesting stranger in Alexandria today! I'll tell you more soon. P.S. Tell the boys in Tantalus I said "Hi!"

The letter the party delivers from Kupo in Alexandria Chapel to Monty at the Evil Forest springs:

Prince on a White Horse
From Kupo to Monty I think Queen Brahne is up to something... but I suspect Princess Garnet even more! Kupo! She might leave soon... with a prince on a white horse... Maybe it's just my imagination...

Monty has another letter with him:

Stiltzkin on Ice
From Stiltzkin to Monty I'm in a very cold place right now It's really strange, it wasn't like this last time I came here... But I guess this is why I travel: to encounter the unexpected. Anyway, I'm gonna get outta here before I get trapped in ice!

Monty escapes the forest to Pinnacle Rocks as the forest petrifies. Mosh from Alexandria sends him a letter to ensure he is alright.

Escaping Evil Forest
From Mosh to Monty Monty! Were you able to escape Evil Forest? Kupo! I think this continent is heading for some serious disaster! It might be too late by the time we realize it.
