Emerald Grove

The Emerald Grove was a druid grove dedicated to Silvanus, located on the Sword Coast during the late 15 century DR.

Description


The Hollows were a series of rocky caves and passages that extended just beneath the cliffs that overlooked the River Chionthar.

Government
While the grove did not have a traditional government, their was a hierarchy within the order of druids.

Geography
The grove was situated just off the Risen Road, between the cities of Baldur's Gate and Elturel, some ways east of Moonrise Towers.

Defenses
It was set within a cave system, which itself was protected by natural fortifications and a great wooden portcullis.

History
In the, a group of tiefling refugees led by Zevlor were granted permission to form a makeshift settlement in the caves outside the Emerald Grove.

When Halsin left the grove to investigate a drow that was infected with an illithid tadpole, Kagha took charge over the settlement. She nearly immediately sought to remove the tieflings from the settlement, and ordered the druids to perform a ritual that would preclude entry by any other outsiders.

Inhabitants
The druids of the grove were drawn from various races, including dwarves, elves, and gnomes.

Several druids called the grove home, including Rath and Nettie, among others.
