First Era
Prior to Marbruk's inception, the Ayleids fled Cyrodiil after the Alessian Slave Rebellion and some settled in the Marbruk Fields. The Ayleids eventually integrated themselves into Bosmeri culture and the great Ayleid settlements degraded to ruins.

Second Era
The great Altmer city of Marbruk was built in 2E 582 during the Alliance War. The city was built to combat the Ebonheart Pact's influence in the region. The Altmer respected the Bosmer's Green Pact by importing supplies from home other places.

After the construction of the city, tragedy stuck when the Staff of Magnus was stolen from the Aldmeri Dominion's great chamber of treasures by the Veiled Heritance and Vicereeve Pelidil. This resulted in the resurrection of Prince Naemon into the Shade of Naemon. The Shade had resurrected an undead army in the Green's Marrow region of Greenshade and lead an assault on Marbruk via the Driladan Pass. The Aldmeri Dominion managed to push back the invaders and eventually defeated the army at Hectahame.

Third Era
During the Imperial Simulacrum, the Eternal Champion had at one point visited the city in their quest for a piece of the Staff of Chaos. Back then, Marbruk was known as Marbruk Field and became a simple settlement.
