The Goidelic forest is a coniferous forest region in the extreme northeast of Great Kirav covering some three million hectares in the states of Irovasdra, Mariava, Moray, and Kintyre. Botanists are divided as to whether the Goidelic forest is the northernmost of the temperate rainforest regions found throughout much of the Eastern Highlands or the westernmost outcropping of the Levantine Boreal Forests, which belong more properly to the taiga biome.
The forest derives its name from the Goidelic, that is, Gaelic-speaking, tribes that inhabited its periphery at the time of the Coscivian voyages of discovery and later took refuge in it during the Cromwelute depredations.
