Editing Sacred Pool


[[File:Sacred Pool.png|thumb|The Sacred Pool hosts the Idol of Silvanus, and is the heart of the Druid Grove.]]

The '''Sacred Pool''' is a [[location]] contained within the [[Emerald Grove]] in [[Act One]]. It connects [[The Hollow]] to the [[Emerald Grove]] and allows access to the [[Secluded Cove]]. 

This sacred area is home to the [[Idol of Silvanus]] and the stage for druidic rituals such as the Rite of Thorns. Outsiders are not welcome here, though certain individuals may be permitted entry.

== Overview ==
Main entry to the '''Sacred Pool''' is by descending the staircase from [[The Hollow]] at {{coords|251|547}}.

Alternate entry is through the elevator in the southern ramparts of the [[Druid Grove]] at {{coords|242|480}} which is initially blocked by a sleeping bear.

===Sacred Pool===
In the Sacred Pool, several druids are performing the [[Rite of Thorns]] using the [[Idol of Silvanus]] found in the centre of the pool. 

To the east, [[Volo]] is interviewing [[Bosk]], a bear. Volo serves as a [[Traders|trader]], including [[The Whispering Promise]] among his wares.

To the south is [[Topaz (Blue Jay)|Topaz]] the blue jay, whose nest contains a [[Shiny Key]] which opens the shiny chest atop a pillar to the north-west.

===Cliff overlook===
Just outside the Sacred Pool and to the east is a path leading up to an overlook where [[Alfira]] can be found, along with a gilded chest containing the [[Cap of Curing]].

===Beach===
South-east of the pool is a small beach where [[Ormn]] is catching fish. Hidden beneath a rock in this area is the [[Amulet of Silvanus]] {{coords|262|481}}.

==Interactions==
{{SpoilerBox|
* If the player approaches from the main entry, they will see the druids blocking the way. A cutscene will depict a confrontation between the druids and the tieflings over this. The tieflings [[Locke]] and [[Komira]] plead that their daughter [[Arabella]] is being held against her will, granting the [[Save Arabella]] quest.
* After this confrontation, attempting to enter the '''Sacred Pool''' will be granted to the party as [[Kagha]] wishes to speak with them.

* Encounter [[Volo]] for the first time, and offer to share your tale of the goblin attack. He acts as a trader and offers a unique magic ring.

* Pass through the '''Sacred Pool''' and exit to the east to find [[Alfira]] the bard, or head to the [[Secluded Cove]].}}
