The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

The main gate of Whiterun stands tall and imposing at the end of a winding stone path, flanked by heavy wooden doors reinforced with iron bands. Guarded at all hours by city watch in steel mail, it marks the threshold between the untamed plains of Skyrim and the bustling heart of the city. The walls rise high around it, crowned with battlements and banners bearing the horse sigil of Whiterun. Merchants, travelers, and messengers pass through daily, their footsteps echoing over cobbles worn smooth by generations.
