Deepwoods is a village located east of Velyn Harbor, in the Broken Coast region of Malabal Tor in Valenwood. It is a Bosmer village, consisting entirely of graht-oak pod homes. The village was settled around the shrine of the Green Lady, a sacred tree which is said to be the embodiment of the first Green Lady. Some believe that the tree marks the grave of the first Green Lady, who perished prior to the Green Pact; others believe that the tree is the first Green Lady herself. This sacred site is blessed by Y'ffre and is regularly visited by pilgrims.[1] It is notable for being the birthplace of many incarnations of the Green Lady, as well as many sacred sites associated with the early lives of the Green Ladies.[2]
Finoriell was born in Deepwoods at some point in the Second Era and later went on to become the Green Lady. Her niece Gwaering became the next Green Lady after Finoriell's death in 2E 582. That same year, Gwaering's sister Lanwaen was kidnapped from the village by the Houndsmen, a group of Hircine worshippers who served Ulthorn the Hound. Lanwaen was subsequently rescued by the Vestige.[2]
