Their headquarters are in Jorrvaskr, a legendary mead hall that was built next to the Skyforge, an ancient forge that is said to be older than both men and Elves.
Whiterun is home to The Companions, a faction similar to the Fighters Guild of Cyrodiil. Upon entering the city, the Dragonborn is able to choose a side, either Battle-Born or Grey-Mane, although this is not necessary to interact with the city's shops and temple. Once on good terms with one another, they are currently bitter enemies, as a result of their differing views on the civil war conflict, as well as the economic disparity between both clans, since the Battle-Borns are wealthy and the Gray-Manes are modest. The city is home to two important dynastic families, the Grey-Manes and the Battle-Borns. It's a strategic city for both the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloaks because of its central location, however Jarl Balgruuf the Greater remains neutral in the conflict. The Civil War, excessively harsh winters, harassment by Horme bandits, and the attacks of frost trolls have diminished the once-proud city. Whiterun was once considered Skyrim's equivalent of the Imperial City, but in recent times has suffered from many problems. As Jarl, his holdings included Whiterun, Granite Hill, Rorikstead, Old H'roldan, Bromjunaar, Korvanjund, Volunruud and Ivarstead. Gjalund was the Jarl of Whiterun sometime in the First Era. It was then that the magnificent keep was rebuilt and renamed to serve as a cage for Numinex, whose head still adorns the Great Hall. Its history can be traced back to the First Era, when King Olaf One-Eye subdued the great dragon Numinex in a legendary duel of Thu'um atop Mount Anthor and brought him back to the fledgling town as a captive. When approaching Whiterun, the towering fortress of Dragonsreach dominates the view. The central location and easy access make it one of the most successful cities in trade. Now, Whiterun is a large city, albeit one that retains the feel of a smaller Nord village.
Upon discovery of the Skyforge, he and his men constructed the great mead hall of Jorrvaskr, which at the time was the sole structure on the bluff. It was founded by Jeek of the River, who was the captain of Jorrvaskr. Whiterun is located on the eastern end of its Hold, in the tundra plains that fill the center of Skyrim.
