Hi everyone,

I've recently set lydia free in whiterun so that i might start the companions quests. i set her free in dragonsreach, because I figured that was her home. Now that I try to find her again, she's gone.

I ran into her once just after i set her free on a street in whiterun, but since then she's vanished.

Anyone have any idea where she might be?

Huh, that's weird. I did the same thing with the Companions but she was always there sitting at one of the long tables in Dragon's Reach. Is it possible she was there and you didn't see her? I think I may have done that once. But Lydia's strange. Once she simply vanished from behind me when I was about to fight a bandit boss. I died.

Maybe try sitting down at one of the long tables and waiting until 10:00 a.m. That's seemed to work for me when I was having a hard time finding the NPC I was looking for.

It's simpler if you buy Breezehome because it's "home" and she'll always go back there.... She'll be sitting in your bedroom... waiting...to carry your burden...

... and munching on bread...

...in her underwear (because I took her armor)...
