The '''Emerald Grove''', also known as '''Silvanus' Grove''' and '''Druid's Grove''', is an [[area]] and [[location]] in the [[Wilderness]] of [[Act One]] of [[Baldur's Gate 3]]. It encompasses the large cavern known as the [[The Hollow]] and the [[Sacred Pool]].

The Druids of the Emerald Grove are led by [[Kagha]] who serves as the leader of the druids in First Druid [[Halsin]]'s abscence. They are providing a temporary refuge for the [[Tiefling Refugees]] from [[Elturel]], though tensions are high. The Grove is on high alert due to the aggression of nearby [[goblin]]s. Kagha has ordered the [[Rite of Thorns]] be preformed to shut the grove off, which would displace the Tieflings.

However, it seems that their strife was not over. Referred to as the 'Darkest Hour', the druids entered a concord with the [[Harpers]] to fight "the shade" (The Shadow Curse). Their opponents were [[Ketheric Thorm]]'s [[Shar]]ran army. The final victory fresco shows a Sharran helmet broken at their feet. The [[Moonrise Towers]] were lost that day.

{{SpoilerWarning}}
The following are unique interactions that appear when the player first visits the Emerald Grove:
* When approaching the Ramparts, Aradin and his fellow adventurers will be running for the gates, chased by Goblins. [[Wyll]] appears to help fight.
* After the fight, several tieflings will be processing the death of [[Kanon]]. If you head there immediately, you may be able to speak to his sister [[Arka]] but she leaves for the [[Makeshift Prison]] soon after his death. Other tieflings will come to grieve too. Speak to any them to enact a cutscene.
* [[Aradin]] and [[Zevlor]] will get into an argument, which may come to blows unless the player intervenes. Aradin's location might vary depending on this outcome.
* A [[bugbear]] [[assassin]] is headed for [[Nadira]] on the hill to the east of the ramparts.
* Looking through the telescope by Nadira to see the dragon.
* [[Volo]] is found interviewing a bear in the [[Sacred Pool]]
