Things are starting to calm down in Whiterun.
Today, Jarl Balgruuf and Proventius finally laid Adrianne to rest. Surprisingly though, Adrianne didn’t get any special treatment, being the daughter of Proventius and all. Like everyone else in Skyrim, she was put into the Hall of the Dead.
Today, the Jarl officially launched an investigation to find out who is responsible for Adrianne’s murder. Proventius wanted the investigation to be flawless. So, Jarl Balgruuf placed Irileth, his personal bodyguard and commander of the Whiterun guards, in charge of the investigation.
Commander Irileth has been with the Whiterun force for years. Irileth is a dark elf, but apparently she and Jarl Balgruuf were war buddies long ago. She’s skilled with a battle-axe as she is with alteration magic, which makes her so good at catching criminals. Just yesterday, Irileth caught a Khajiit thief stealing from the marketplace when she was out for a stroll. She didn’t even break a sweat. If you don’t know, Khajiits are these cat-like creatures with unparalleled agility. They are the fastest runners in Tamriel. Irileth saw the thief running away. She didn’t even chase after the thief. Instead, she stood still, raised her left hand and casted a paralyze spell on the thief.
One time, Irileth dove into a river to save the Jarl Balgruuf. It was an assassination attempt from the Dark Brotherhood. The assassin was close too. He had the Jarl in ropes, and tied to a boulder. The assassin pushed Balgruuf down a river. Then, Irileth charged at the assassin, hacking him to death with her axe. Then, calm and collected as ever, Irileth used Detect Life to see where the Jarl is in the water, casted Waterbreathing on herself, and dove head-first into the water. The Jarl emerged from the incident without a scratch, just merely soaked.
Now, with Adriane’s murder case, Irileth is already making progress. She made a list of all of the guards on duty the night of the murder. Today, she interviewed most of the guards on that list. From what they said, Irileth narrowed down the exact entrance and exit used by the culprit. Darien and I are on that list. It looks like I’ll get some face time with the commander tomorrow.
