Locations
Adjacent areas
Emerald Grove Ramparts
The south of the Emerald Grove is protected by ramparts. The thick gate can be only be opened by the nearby gate winch. A war horn allows the defenders to rally should the Grove come under attack. To the east of the ramparts is a tall hill, where Nadira has set up with her telescope. The player may intervene to save her. A path winds down north from the hill towards the elevator to the Sacred Pool. Until Tuffet the bear can be convinced to move, the Elevator is inoperable.
A couple of the tieflings have set up a small camp to the west. Should any of the tieflings die, they may end up buried in the small clearing to the west.
The Hollow
For more information see: The Hollow
The Hollow is a cavernous location in the northwest of the Emerald Grove. The majority of the Tiefling refugees can be found here. There are multiple traders in this area, and companions may be acquired here, depending on the player's story choices.
This location contains entrances to the Secluded Chamber, Underground Passage and the Tiefling Hideout. It is north of the Ramparts, and northwest of the Sacred Pool.
Sacred Pool
For more information see: Sacred Pool
The Sacred Pool is at the heart of the Emerald Grove. The Idol of Silvanus is at the centre of the Sacred Pool. It is the site where the Rite of Thorns is being preformed by the druids. A couple druids stand guard at the bottom of the stairs to the Hollow, preventing most outsiders from entering the Sacred Pool during the rite.
The Sacred Pool connects to the Inner Sanctum via the Stone Door X: 25 Y: -10, and to The Hollow via the stairs to the north, the Secluded Cove to the northeast. An elevator leads to the Emerald Cove ramparts in the south.
Inner Sanctum
For more information see: Inner Sanctum
The Inner Sanctum is a subterranean location accessed through the Stone Door in the Sacred Pool. There are four frescos in the Inner Sanctum, depicting the history of the Emerald Grove. Kagha, the acting leader of the druids, can be found in the Inner Sanctum.
The Servant Quarters can be found to the North-East, and the Druids' Chambers to the North. The Healer Nettie can be found in the Druid's Chamber, and is capable of unlocking the entrance to the Enclave Library.
