Pyreglow Forest is a dungeon located in Grymoire in World of Final Fantasy. It is a gigantic forest that connects from the "Cornelia" continent to the "Saronia" continent above, and is accessed by taking the Cactuar Express station at the top of Cornelia to the north. It is first visited in Chapter 5, "The Champion Who Saved Grymoire".
Story
After taking up Princess Sarah's suggestion to go Saronia to meet the thane, who had apparently been in contact with the anti-federation group, the League of S, Lann and Reynn leave Cornelia and take the Cactuar Express north to Pyreglow Forest. After climbing up the tall forest, the twins eventually come across a lake at the top.
