There must be something in a code block. Because of your commenting out some lines:

elif command.lower() in ["south", "s"]:

    #forest()elif command.lower() in ["west", "w"]:

There is no code in the block after the first elif:, so you get a syntax error when the next elif: is found instead.

Add a pass statement in the blocks you have commented out:

elif command.lower() in ["south", "s"]:
    #forest()passelif command.lower() in ["west", "w"]:

pass does nothing, but it can form a block in cases like this.
