Greymoor Caverns is a zone in The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor constituting a part of Blackreach beneath Skyrim. The system contains four large caverns connected by Dwemer gates, namely Dusktown Cavern, Greymoor Cavern, Lightless Hollow and Dark Moon Grotto. The caverns are accessed by any of three great lifts found across Western Skyrim or by the connected Arkthzand and Mzark caverns.[1]
Background[]
- "Blackreach, a legendary and long-forgotten realm that stretches beneath Skyrim, hides terrible creatures and even more terrible secrets. The caverns beneath Western Skyrim include Greymoor, the Lightless Hollow, Dark Moon Grotto, and Dusktown."
- ―Greymoor Caverns loading screen[src]
Greymoor Caverns is an expansive section of Blackreach constituting much of the subterranean area of Hjaalmarch and Haafingar. The caverns were originally occupied by the Dwemer prior to their disappearance, as evident by the many structures and animunculi left behind. Now, the caverns are home to Falmer and the vampires of the Gray Host, among various other creatures. Much of the caverns' landscape, like the rest of Blackreach, is open and expansive, covered in mist and fog throughout. Bioluminescent biota, including giant mushrooms, are prevalent, providing ambient hues of blue, cyan and purple lighting.[1]
Locations[]
The following are locations accessible in Greymoor Caverns and, with the exception of unmarked locations, are discoverable on the map. Points of Interest serve as locations with unique side quests, while cities serve as the centralised areas with multiple sublocations and act as a hub for services and merchants. Explanations of the types of locations are provided in the main locations page.
Quests[]
- Main article: Quests (Online)
Greymoor Caverns share its story quests with the Western Skyrim, and the zone story quests tie into the Dark Heart of Skyrim's overarching storyline, but it is not necessary to complete the zone quests for other zones prior to those in the Western Skyrim or Greymoor Caverns. 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.

Nine Skyshards can be found in Greymoor Caverns totaling in three skill points.
