Bilberry Grove lies deep within Duskwood. It is the most holy Qidranian site in Kalderesh. The Qidranian Holiness Lucus Lain is the spiritual guardian of the Grove.
It is not a traditional settlement, but rather a magical place in the deepest and densest part of the forest. It is about 80 km north-east of Coth-Rom, although no roads lead to it.
It is the blessed site of the Qidranian Mystery rites, celebrated around the start of summer. The famous “Weeping Giant” statue overlooks a peaceful lake alongside the Grove.
Senior clerics of Qidra journey to the Grove once every five years to take part in the Mysteries.
On special days, all Kalderani are welcomed into the Grove to join in special celebrations. The pilgrimage to the Grove starts in Redhall.
