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.

Main entry to the Sacred Pool is by descending the staircase from The Hollow at X: 251 Y: 547.

Alternate entry is through the elevator in the southern ramparts of the Druid Grove at X: 242 Y: 480 which is initially blocked by a sleeping bear.
