Marbruk circa 2E 582

Ayleid ruins beneath the city

Marbruk (or Marbruk Field) is a city located deep in the forests of Valenwood, in eastern Greenshade. It connects the wild interior of the region with Grahtwood.

Following the Alessian Slave Rebellion in Cyrodiil, an Ayleid clan settled on the site of Marbruk in the early First Era. Like all Ayleid settlements in Valenwood, the clan was eventually absorbed into mainstream Bosmer culture and the site fell into ruins. The land that Marbruk was built upon originally belonged to the Bosmer Driladan Clan, once native to the area. Marbruk was constructed in 2E 582 by the Aldmeri Dominion to defend Greenshade from the Ebonheart Pact. Hoping to accommodate their Altmer allies, the Bosmer ignored the felling of trees involved in its construction. The Altmer, in turn, attempted to respect the Green Pact by importing the wood and stone required, and faced little opposition from the local tribes. The city featured modern Altmeri architecture built atop the original Ayleid ruins, and was home to a secure vault where the Dominion stored some of its most priceless treasures.

Shortly after the city's construction, the Staff of Magnus was stolen from the vault by the Veiled Heritance. The Heritance then resurrected Prince Naemon as a lich and bestowed the Staff upon him. It was this shade that raised an army of undead in the Green's Marrow region and led an attack on Marbruk from the north. The undead forced the Driladan Clan to migrate south, but the Dominion managed to hold Marbruk against the initial assault and eventually destroyed Naemon and his army.

A small settlement named Marbruk Field was still in existence by the time of the Imperial Simulacrum.
