The Imperial city is presented as bustling and historic, watched over by an opulent castle inhabited by Jarl Balgruf. The city is one that likely comes to mind for many players when they think about the game, as it is the origin of iconic quests, locations, and moments like Skyrim's «arrow to the knee» meme.
