Sacred Pool
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.
Overview
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.
If the party 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 
quest. After this confrontation, attempting to enter the Sacred Pool will be granted to the party as [ Kagha wishes to speak with them.
The party can also encounter Volo for the first time, and offer to share a tale of the goblin attack.
