Not the one you can buy but the one you win after defeating the dragon? The jarl says he gave one to me but ive been running round for at least an hour trying to find it?

He says Housecarl. Someone who fights by your side and protects you etc.

I thought he meant house too at first.

Lol cheers m8, guess i have to buy one then! sick of carrying all this crap around with me and constantly swapping with my companion.

Yes, her name's Lydia, you'll find her in the castle, where she'll return to when dismissed. Once you buy a house in Whiterun she'll return there instead.

What's the Whiterun house like? any good?

I've just got enough gold lol so I want to try before I buy...

Yeah I want the house too. It's 5000 gold though!

The house in Whiterun is called Breezehome, and it's right next to the smithy by the gate. It's L shaped, has both an upstairs loft and a downstairs section that are the same size. By default it's kind of run down when you get it, though it does come with a bed and a storage chest in the loft. After fully upgrading it, it'll have two beds upstairs with several storage containers both upstairs and downstairs as well as an alchemy lab downstairs. I can post pictures later if anyone is really interested. I mainly bought it because I'm heavily into smithing with this character and it's VERY convenient right next to the forge, smelter, workbench, tanning rack, and grindstone. Inside furnishings ranged from 200-500 gold per package, and I can't remember exactly how many there were. I distinctly remember bedroom, dining room, living room, loft decoration, and alchemy lab packages though.
