Where is jarl of whiterun

Here, take this as a small token of my esteem. He will continue, "There is another thing you could do for me. Suitable for someone of your particular talents, perhaps.

Come, let's go find Farengar, my court wizard. He's been looking into a matter related to these dragons and As you are walking over to see Farengar, he'll say, "I'll introduce you to Farengar. He can be a bit You know. Day and night. I'm not sure he ever sleeps. I'm sure you two will get along famously. Balgruuf : "This is a priority now.

Anything we can use to fight this dragon, or dragons. We need it, quickly. Before it's too late. You seem to have found me an able assistant. Whiterun will be in your debt. During the quest he'll just say, "Bring back this tablet that Farengar wants and I'll be in your debt. Bring that back from Bleak Falls Barrow and I'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about.

After you return the Dragonstone to Farengar, Irileth will bring you to him and he'll have the following conversation. If you attempt to talk to him before he's done talking with the guard and Irileth, he'll only say, "Not now. Balgruuf : "So, Irileth tells me you came from the western watchtower? About the dragon. We saw it coming from the south.

It was fast Is it attacking the watchtower? It was just circling overhead when I left. I never ran so fast in my life I thought it would come after me for sure.

We'll take it from here. Head down to the barracks for some food and rest. You've earned it. Irileth, you'd better gather some guardsmen and get down there. Don't fail me. He'll then turn to you and say, "There's no time to stand on ceremony, my friend. I need your help again. I want you to go with Irileth and help her fight this Dragon. You survived Helgen, so you have more experience with dragons then anyone else here. But I haven't forgotten the service you did for me in retrieving the Dragonstone for Farengar.

As a token of my esteem, I have instructed Avenicci that you are now permitted to purchase property in the city. And please accept this gift from my personal armory. Farengar : "I should come along. I would very much like to see this dragon. I can't afford to risk both of you. I need you here working on ways to defend the city against these dragons. This isn't a death or glory mission. I need to know what we're dealing with.

I'm the very soul of caution. If you talk to him now, the only thing he'll say is, "Help Irileth kill this dragon before it can attack Whiterun. There's no time to lose. When you return he'll say to Hrongar , "You heard the summons. What else could it mean? The Greybeards Was the dragon there? If you picked one of the other two options, you can tell him you may be Dragonborn or that you absorbed some kind of power, getting the same responses as above.

Once he mentions the Greybeards, the next quest, The Way of the Voice , will start. You can now ask him about the Greybeards, to which he'll say, "Masters of the Way of the Voice. They live in seclusion high on the slopes of the Throat of the World. If you really are Dragonborn, they can teach you how to use your gift.

Hrongar : "Didn't you hear the thundering sound as you returned to Whiterun? That was the voice of the Greybeards, summoning you to High Hrothgar!

This hasn't happened in Not since Tiber Septim himself was summoned when he was still Talos of Atmora! What does any of this Nord nonsense have to do with our friend here? Why you puffed-up ignorant Don't be so hard on Avenicci. It's just that If they think you're Dragonborn, who are we to argue? You'd better get up to High Hrothgar immediately. There's no refusing the summons of the Greybeards.

It's a tremendous honor. He'll then say to you, "You've done a great service for me and my city, Dragonborn. By my right as Jarl, I name you Thane of Whiterun. It's the greatest honor that's within my power to grant. I assign you Lydia as a personal Housecarl, and this weapon from my armory to serve as your badge of office. I'll also notify my guards of your new title. Wouldn't want them to think you're part of the common rabble, now would we?

We are honored to have you as Thane of our city, Dragonborn. Who are the Greybeards? They live up on top of the Throat of the World. If you're really Dragonborn, they'll want to talk to you. In the old stories, they always summon the Dragonborn for training.

Wulfharth was Dragonborn. Talos, too - the founder of the Empire, back in the good old days. In the very oldest tales, back from when there still were dragons in Skyrim, the Dragonborn would slay dragons and steal their power. If you complete Battle for Whiterun prior to the quest, he may appear at the Thalmor party. When you see him at the party, he'll show his distaste for the gathering and the Thalmor in general, saying, "This gathering is nothing more than a boast.

The Thalmor are reminding us that we're at their beck and call. That woman and her Thalmor Justiciars have caused nothing but problems for the people of Skyrim. I have no more taste for Thalmor wine than I do for Thalmor company. What is more, I'm away from the hold at a time when there are dragons and Stormcloaks on the loose. There's every chance I'll return to find a pile of smoking ash where Whiterun once stood. I was wondering what you were doing here I'm glad to play my part.

Do what you need to do. Balgruuf : "It's all for a good cause, old chap. Ulfric Stormcloak? The rightful High King? That's bordering on treason, man! Stand up. Stand up, I say! Fine fellow, although a bit too fond of I mean, no, of course, I condemn him in the most You retract your statement? And you promised to behave yourself this time. Remove him. He's disturbing the other guests.

This is an insult to the dignity of my person! This time I'm completely innocent! I am tired of being hounded from all sides! I don't need any help dealing with this kind of fool.

He isn't worth the trouble. I apologize for the disruption to such a festive occasion. I protest I still don't understand what just Disable this feature for this session.

Even now, my court wizard, Farengar, continues his research into ways we might drive back these We must also have ample reserves of water to combat the fires that will surely spread after an attack.

But our greatest weapon? For if we cannot kill the beast, we must at least have the tenacity to drive it back. Until brave heroes step forward to destroy these monsters, that is the best we can do. Alvor Or "Gerdur" if Ralof is followed instead of Hadvar. The smith, isn't he? Reliable, solid fellow. Not prone to flights of fancy And you're sure Helgen was destroyed by a dragon? This wasn't some Stormcloak raid gone wrong? Or "Gerdur? Owns the lumber mill, if I'm not mistaken.

Pillar of the community. I had a great view while the Imperials were trying to cut off my head. You're certainly But it's none of my concern who the Imperials want to execute. Especially now. What I want to know is what exactly happened at Helgen. I saw the dragon burn Helgen to the ground. About the dragon attack. Then the dragon attacked. And last I saw it was heading this way. Was the dragon there? But there must be more to it than that.

What do you know about the Dragonborn? The Greybeards really were summoning you. They live in seclusion high on the slopes of the Throat of the World. If you really are Dragonborn, they can teach you how to use your gift. The Greybeards seem to think the same thing. It was a mighty deed. You've earned a place of honor among the heroes of Whiterun.

Did something Wulfharth was Dragonborn. Talos, too - the founder of the Empire, back in the good old days. In the very oldest tales, back from when there still were dragons in Skyrim, the Dragonborn would slay dragons and steal their power. They live up on top of the Throat of the World. If you're really Dragonborn, they'll want to talk to you. In the old stories, they always summon the Dragonborn for training.

But only the Greybeards study the Way of the Voice any more. If you can Shout I need to trap a dragon in your palace. I thought you asked me to help you trap a dragon in my palace. Persuade "I'm sorry, but I can't do it. We'll just have to keep fighting the dragons as best we can. You want me to let a dragon into the heart of my city, with the threat of war on my doorstep?

The risk is too great. Alduin has returned. The World-Eater himself? Doesn't his return mean it's the end times? Now, what's this nonsense about trapping a dragon in my palace? And I will. But I need your help first.

Ulfric and General Tullius are both just waiting for me to make a wrong move. Do you think they will sit idle while a dragon is slaughtering my men and burning my city? No, I can't risk weakening the city while we are under threat of enemy attack. I'm sorry. But getting both sides to agree to a truce will be difficult at this point.

The bitterness has gone too deep. They are respected by all Nords. High Hrothgar is neutral territory. If the Greybeards were willing to host a peace council I'll talk to Arngeir about hosting a peace council. Maybe you can stop the dragons - and this war into the bargain. It's my destiny to stop him. That's good enough for me.

Although I never thought to put the tale to the test. They say he Shouted it into submission in single combat atop Mount Anthor and brought it back to Whiterun. Numinex was the dragon's name.

That's his skull decorating the main hall. It's the only way to stop the dragons. Just say the word. The great chains are oiled. We wait on your word. I'll be famouser than Olaf One-Eye! Let's go trap a dragon. Make sure you do your part. I'm putting my city in your hands. The General wants to lend Legion troops. Give the papers to my Steward. For the Jarl's eyes only. Proventus is my eyes. Just give me the letter. I presume once I have it, I can do as I please with it? Give the man my axe.

If he returns it to you it means we have business to settle. If he keeps it, then we are at peace. There are but a few simple truths behind one warrior giving another his axe. Ulfric will know my meaning. Keep your wits about you and you won't be harmed. And then get back here.

Because if Ulfric isn't bluffing, I'll need every able body to defend Whiterun. Any fool can see that. For centuries, we have benefited from the Empire's protection, and prosperous trade with the south.

In exchange, the people of Cyrodiil sleep peacefully, knowing their northern border is guarded by the fiercest warriors in all Tamriel. Do you think Ulfric really cares about Skyrim's independence, or the welfare or its people? I promise you, he doesn't. He's nothing more than a barbarian renegade, whose lust for power has cost the lives of countless innocents. I have no more taste for Thalmor wine than I do for Thalmor company. What is more, I'm away from the hold at a time when there are dragons and Stormcloaks on the loose.

There's every chance I'll return to find a pile of smoking ash where Whiterun once stood. That woman and her Thalmor Justiciars have caused nothing but problems for the people of Skyrim.
