Greenshade

Edit

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.[1]

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[src]

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.[2]

"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."
―Loading screen[src]

Greenshade features a large proportion of Valenwood's tribal Bosmer populations who follow the Green Pact and are distrustful of others, including the Dominion.[3][4] 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."[5] 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.[4]

Quests[]

Main article: Quests (Online)

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. Side quests are non-sequential and can be completed in any order, except where one carries on from another, and repeatable quests can be completed multiple times: weekly for arenas and trials and daily for all others. Pointer quests are optional zone quests that send the Vestige to the tarting location of another zone quest.

Skyshards[]

Main article: Skyshards (Online)

Sixteen Skyshards can be found in Greenshade totaling in five skill points with one left over.
