The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Nestled in the dense forests north of Riften, near the Velothi Mountains, Fort Greenwall is a fortified stone stronghold of strategic importance during Skyrim’s civil war. Though partially crumbling and overgrown with ivy, the fort’s high walls, internal barracks, and surrounding towers still serve as a critical military position for both Imperial and Stormcloak forces depending on the tide of battle. Inside, narrow corridors connect sleeping quarters, an armory, and a prison wing, while the outer courtyard offers space for drills and siege defense. During the war quests, the Dragonborn may lead the charge to claim or defend the fort, turning it into a pivotal battleground. Outside of wartime, it may be occupied by bandits or other hostiles. Fort Greenwall is more than just stone and mortar—it’s a contested symbol of control over The Rift, where loyalties clash beneath Skyrim’s ever-turning sky, and where every blade drawn helps shape the future of a divided land.
