The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

The Castle Dour Courtyard is a fortified open-air space within Solitude's Castle Dour, serving as the central hub for the Imperial Legion's military activities in Skyrim. Enclosed by high stone walls, the courtyard features training areas equipped with archery targets and combat dummies, where Captain Aldis oversees the drills of Solitude's guards. A grindstone and workbench are also present for weapon maintenance. The courtyard provides access to several key locations: the main hall of Castle Dour, the Emperor's Tower, the Temple of the Divines, and the Thalmor Headquarters. Its strategic layout and facilities underscore its role as the heart of Imperial military operations in the region.
