Dragonsreach

Dragonsreach is a stronghold in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. As the seat of government in Whiterun, Jarl Balgruuf the Greater sits here as its ruler. Dragonsreach is situation in the "Cloud Distract" of Whiterun, and as the name suggests, it is elevated from the rest of the city. According to the Jarl's steward, the building gained its name after a bloodly battle left the victorious party of the area as "rulers of the clouds".

The Dragonborn arrives at Dragonsreach to inform the Jarl that the Dragon spotted in Helgren Keep was headed toward Whiterun. Meeting up with him, the Jarl sends Irileth and several Guards to slay the Dragon.

Dragonsreach is surrounded by a moat, filled with Salmon. A nameless skeleton floats in the moat. Around the right side of the structure is the entrance to the Dragonsreach Dungeon, where the Alik'r prisoner resides.

Dragonsreach houses a Cooking Pot, used for creating high-quality health and stamina recovery potions. Most of the food, cutlery, and books in Dragonsreach can be taken freely without worry of stealing.

Dragonsreach's Wizard has an Alchemy Lab and Arcane Enchanter available for constant use with creating potions and enchanting items. The Wizard sells all manner of valuable Spell Tomes and Mage Robes.
