Whiterun Hold

Whiterun Hold is one of the nine Holds of Skyrim introduced in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

About
Whiterun hold is the central hold on Skyrim. It is named for the major city of the hold, Whiterun. The landscape is mostly borean plains, with vast, sparse tundra and flowing rivers, but its most striking landmark is the Throat of the World, the highest peak in Tamriel. 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. The White River divides the region. Sparse plains extend from west of the river to the township of Rorikstead near the western border, which is situated on ideal farmland. Much of the area near the southern border and east of the river is mountainous. Whiterun appears to have stable security, but some residents complain that Whiterun's security is the worst in the province, calling it shameful.
