Walkthrough[]

When approaching the Verrant Morass after starting "Shades of Green," Indaenir will appear to you. He will tell you that this place is cursed, and will corrupt most Bosmer who set foot in it. Outlanders and certain Bosmer are unaffected, so you are safe to enter the area. Because of this, Indaenir will ask for your help in undoing the curse. He will explain that before the Green Pact, the people used Standing Stones to keep the forest at bay, and he suggests that you seek out these standing stones and activate them.

The East Standing Stone will be just west of Echo Pond. Activate it, then proceed westward to the Central Standing Stone, fighting your way through hordes of Feral Bosmer. The final standing stone is west of here, up the hill. Follow the path and you will find it.

Once you have activated all the standing stones, Indaenir will tell you that the corruption is coming from the Den of the Eldest. You should head there; it is in the north of the area.

Upon reaching the den, Indaenir will explain how the Eldest is actually a Strangler, and is the lifeblood of the forest in this area. This Strangler has been corrupted; you will have to kill it and take its heart, so that a new Strangler can be grown to take its place. Head inside and kill the Eldest, then take its heart once it is dead. The moment you do this, the Shade of Naemon will transport you to the Shadow Wood; talk to Indaenir and he will suggest that you have to kill Naemon's Servant to get out of here. However, while you are here, he will suggest using the opportunity to cleanse some of the corruption from the forest by defeating the Corrupted Tree Spirits in the area. Indaenir can be intimidated to allow you to use the Heart's power to more easily defeat the spirits, but that will corrupt the heart and prevent a new Strangler from taking the Eldest's place. If you intimidate him, [?].

Head outside. There are three tree spirits you need to kill. The closest to you is the western tree spirit, to your southwest. Beware that each of the tree spirits will summon a Thunderbug Lord to aid them in battle. Once it is dead, head southeast for the Central Tree Spirit, and then further east for the Eastern Tree Spirit. Once all three spirits are dead, head to the northeast of the area to meet up with Indaenir, and help him defeat the Servant of Naemon.

Once Naemon's servant is dead, you will be returned to Valenwood. Talk to Indaenir after this to finish the quest.
