A guard from Whiterun

Whiterun Guards are Nord guards who act as the military and police force of Whiterun Hold.

These guards serve under Jarl Balgruuf, and will defend the city during the Battle for Whiterun. Should the Stormcloak forces gain control of the city, they will be replaced by Stormcloak soldiers under the service of Jarl Vignar.

Whiterun Guards, like all guards, wear a set of their city's armor, shield and helm, but in yellow color. In addition they wear fur boots but no gauntlets. Whiterun's guards are armed with an Imperial sword, an Imperial bow, a random number from twelve to twenty steel arrows and a steel dagger. They all carry a set of common clothes. In addition they may carry two or all of the following: a torch, a beverage, and a small amount of gold.

They can be found patroling the streets of Whiterun at any times and they sleep in the Guard Barracks. Three Guards are stationed at Whitewatch Tower and may be attacked by bandits, although the guards will defeat them easily. After Before the Storm, you can witness Irileth sending three Guards to Riverwood and you can follow them to their destination where they will stay for the rest of the game.

Their primary skills are one-handed, two-handed, archery and block. Their secondary skills are heavy armor and light armor.
