Sublocations	Drowned Coast Green's Marrow Wilderking Court

Greenshade is the southwestern zone of Valenwood. Life flourishes beneath the lush canopy of Greenshade's graht-oak forest fed by snaking rivers, vast forests and plentiful resources that have left it greatly untouched by civilization. The capital city of the region is Woodhearth in the west that facilitates trade from the rest of Tamriel.

Background

"As the region of Valenwood farthest from all other realms, Greenshade's graht-oak forest is virtually pristine, the Tamriel jungle at its most primeval. Its capital is the trading port of Woodhearth."

―Loading screen

Greenshade is the seat of the Wilderking and later the Wilderqueen, a Bosmer deitiy whose control over the region is separate from the Aldmeri Dominion. During the Alliance War, in order to secure control over the region, the Dominion negotiated an Alliance with the Wilderking.

"Greenshade, a land of flowing rivers and fertile plains, occupies the southwest portion of Valenwood. The port city of Woodhearth sits upon the western shore, while other towns include Marbruk and Greenheart."

Greenshade features a large proportion of Valenwood's tribal Bosmer populations who follow the Green Pact and are distrustful of others, including the Dominion. The city of Marbruk was constructed by the Altmer to unify the local population with the culture of the Dominion, although others regard the city's existence as an act of "civic aggression." In earlier times, the merchant thoroughfares of the region consisted of old tunnels that bypassed the dense terrain and dangerous wildlife. Such tunnels then came into almost exclusive use by black market traders. Local Bosmer are also known to thieve on traveling merchants.

Quests

Greenshade features a series of zone story quests and unrelated side quests. The zone story quests tie into the Aldmeri Dominion's overarching storyline and carries on from Grahtwood before continuing to Malabal Tor, but it is not necessary to complete the story quests for zones prior to those in Greenshade.
