Trivia

• The Path to the Whisperwood, along with West S'warkii Trail and North S'warkii Trail, has the lowest average JP yield from random encounters of any inner ring location—and by extension, location in the game—when at the highest possible Danger Level.
• The Path to the Whisperwood is the only Chapter 1 path location where Caits can be encountered; thus, H'aanit is the only protagonist who can encounter Caits before completing their Chapter 1.
