The Eternal Grove is a sacred location for the Kurzicks. This deep part of the Echovald Forest is where the Forever Trees grow - of which contains the magic to transform Kurzick volunteers into Kurzick Juggernauts. The actual explorable area is much larger than the area accessible during the mission, minus the mission starting location - the gates are locked. The primary inhabitants in this area are hostile Dragon Plants and the Wardens, with a small group of Mantids around a small stream and lake near the center.
