Reaper's March, formerly known as Northern Valenwood,[1] is an embattled zone to the north of Grahtwood where the northern savannahs of Elsweyr meet northern Valenwood's forests. It is home to the cities of Arenthia, Rawl'kha, and Dune. The lattermost city is the home of the Mane,[2] the Khajiiti spiritual leader.[3]

Background[]

"Once known simply as Northern Valenwood, this region that borders Cyrodiil and Elsweyr has seen so much bloody warfare since the fall of the Second Empire that it's now known as Reaper's March, even to its battle-scarred inhabitants."

Reaper's March is a region frequently subject to conflicts and wars between the Khajiit, Bosmer and Colovian Imperials who occupy the three-sided border. Although separated by the Strid River, Colovian cities such as Kvatch often make incursions into the areas surrounding the border cities.[4] Despite concerted attempts to control the Northern Woods centralized through the occupation of Arenthia, Colovian forces would be forced to retreat to Cyrodiil by the Aldmeri Dominion and organised Khajiit resistance forces.[5]

In 2E 582, the Order of the Black Worm, working through the Stonefire Cult, would attempt to advance the progress of the Planemeld in Reaper's March before being defeated by the Vestige and their allies.[6] Concurrently, the Dark Mane, the spirit of an ancient disgraced Mane, was unleashed by the dro-m'Athra.[7] His return would serve as a trial to determine which of the twins, Shazah or Khali, would become the new Mane and spiritual leader of the Khajiit.[8] The resolution of the crisis would serve to unify the races of the Dominion.[9]

Quests[]

Main article: Quests (Online)

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