Ok so I've been reading up on valenwood lore and have a bit more to add to the story.

You start in the city of Greenheart (a prisoner of course). Bla bla bla stuff happens, and you find yourself having to escape the city because the WilderKing has turned corrupt thanks to the Thalmors actions.

Post your escape the WilderKing is now the main antagonist and is corrupting the rest of the forest now bit by bit. He does this via corruption nodes, pretty much heavily guarded things that crop up in places and spread corruption, yoiu can destroy them to slow the corruption down. Noet that the full on corruption doesn't start until a quest early on, just like in the other games (eg Dragon rising in Skyrim before the dragons return). Over time the corruption will spread throughout Valenwood unless you stop it. Its also possible for it to take cities, displacing or killing its inhabitants.

What you have to do, fight the corruption alongside NPCs such as the Silvenar, Green Lady, Heir to the WilderKing and whatnot. A significant amount of story will involve Graht-oak cities such as Elden Root and Fallinesti. It all climaxes when you have to enter the final dungeon Hectahame, go after the WilderKing whith his Heir, kill him to prevent his take over of the Heart of Valenwood and therefore complete takeover of Valenwood. Then the heir becomes the new WilderKing and starts working towards fixing the forest.
