Nemeton is a hidden area, removed from Erinn. Its entrance looks like a pyramid. It is cave-like and in its center stands a gigantic tower. Its surrounding area seems to bear strange crystals, not unlike hillwen, but purple in color instead.

It is the main base of the Cessair from which they operate. Inside the tower are numerous rooms.

It is the main area where the events of The Saga: Iria II occur from episode 5 onwards.

While infiltrating, the Treasure Hunter learns through the Grave of Truth, stone stelae recording past events, that Dian created Nemeton in order to avoid Irinid's curse on her people, the Ban clan, and ensure their survival. In order to maintain it, she had to use sacrifices and cloned the Cessair in order to do so. It is later revealed that the tower itself is a giant cannon, meant to pierce Erinn's skies and enact Dian's revenge on the world that slighted her and her clan.

The cannon successfully fires off despite the Milletian's attempts at stopping it, killing the remainder of the Cessair nearby as it launches. Without Dian to sustain it anymore, Nemeton is likely destroyed.
