Whiterun Hold

Whiterun Hold is one of the nine holds of Skyrim. It is named for the major city of the hold, Whiterun. The landscape is characterized by sparse grasslands and flowing rivers, but obviously also houses mountains as well. The most prominent of these mountains is the Throat of the World, the second highest peak in Tamriel and second only to Red Mountain. It is said among Nords that this is where mankind was first given life. High Hrothgar is the ancient location on the mountain where the Greybeards dwell, masters of the Voice and trainers of the Dragonborn. This hold is also known for having a large number of Giant camps as well.
