User blog comment:DarthOrc/Dragon Attack inside Whiterun/@comment-5626185-20121023080028

Lvl 45 Khajiit, was improving a Glass Sword at Adrianne's, then the familiar dragon music. Looked up over towards Dragonsreach to see an Elder Dragon swooping over the town, its frost breath slaughtering people all around me. Had Lydia as a follower with Glass arrows so she was truly a help getting that dragon to land, but at the cost of a fair few lives - Nazeem, Bergritte Battle-Born, Amren, Alfhild Battle-Born, Jon Battle-Born, Severio Pelagius and a handleful of guards. Reloading didn't help, as I must have saved the game during the dragon's spawn period, and it had already killed Amren and Bergritte. I have not done the main quest yet, only Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood questlines have been completed, so I doubt it has to do with the Dragonsreach quest - I haven't even chosen a side in the war yet.

Anyway that was the day I got attacked by an Elder Dragon in Whiterun, 10th of Sun's Dawn, 4E 202.
