What I think of as unholy lands are lands that are conquered by big E Evil like demon lords, liches, vampires evil clerics and wizards. In this case the people who were conquered can be rescued even if they have been killed and their soul is in Hell as angels at the end times will fight the final battle to save the souls captured by the Infernal.

Forsaken lands are lands where the mortal population has chosen evil. They were not forced into choosing evil they embraced it for power, luxury and other vices. Think Sodom and Gomorrah or the world before the great Flood. There is no redemption and the Divine has abandoned those lands. Supernatural Evil does not need huge armies because the land is already corrupted and subdued. There is the occasional demon and many other Infernal beings. It is a place more of sorrow and misery as the people who live there try to indulge themselves before they die and spend eternity in Hell.

In short unholy land is land that Evil has captured but the Divine can fight for and redeem. Forsaken land is land that the Divine no longer fights for so there is no redemption unless the people repent their sins and atone them.
