Alvor

Cross the river and then head north. You'll see it, just past the falls.

When you get to Whiterun just keep going up. When you get to the top of the hill, you're at Dragonsreach, the Jarl's palace.

Of course. Take what you need.

But what's all this about? What are you two doing here?

Hadvar? How do you know him?

Like I said, I'm glad to help in any way I can. Help yourself to whatever you need, within reason.

When he shows up here and vouches for you, then I'll see what I can do for you.

Did he, now? That doesn't sound like my nephew at all. I doubt he'd be mixed up with the likes of you.

I'd be glad to help a friend of Hadvar. But you didn't answer my question - how do you know him?

It's from that treaty that ended the Great War, remember, when the Emperor was forced by the Thalmor to outlaw Talos worship.

We didn't pay much attention to it when I was a boy - everyone still had their little shrine to Talos.

But then Ulfric and his "Sons of Skyrim" started agitating about it, and sure enough the Emperor had to crack down.

Dragging people off in the middle of the night... one of the main causes of this war, if you ask me.

People are rightly stirred up about the damn Thalmor being allowed to roam around arresting people, just for worshipping Talos.

But was it worth tearing Skyrim apart, and maybe destroying the Empire? No, Ulfric will have a lot to answer for in the end.

Nords have always supported the Empire, and the Empire has always been good for Skyrim.

Oh? Well, I won't turn down your money.
