Stuff for future pages

Whiterun is one of the nine major cities in the province of Skyrim, and it serves as the capital of Whiterun Hold. The city lies in the very heart of Skyrim and functions as the province's center of trade. It also holds great cultural and historical significance, having ties with the Five Hundred Companions, who first discovered it in the late Merethic Era. Whiterun has been described as the "Imperial City of Skyrim", and its large palace has been compared to Cyrodilic castles. In the dragon language, the city is known as Ahrolsedovah, which means Hill-of-Dragon.

Attrebus Mede was a Colovian noble born in the early Fourth Era. He was the son of Emperor Titus Mede I and was the Crown Prince of the Third Empire, under the early Mede Dynasty. From childhood to his early adulthood, he was known across the Empire as a heroic adventurer and his stories were recorded in the book, "The Most Current and High Adventures of Prince Attrebus". Though he had his involvement omitted from history, one of Attrebus' greatest feats comes from his part in the Umbriel Crisis, as one of several key figures responsible for the floating city's demise. He had blond hair, a slight bend in his nose much like his mother, green eyes, a strong chin, and a lean face like his father.
