Editing Scrollhammer: Holds of Skyrim (section)

====Jarl Olaf One-Eye of Whiterun====

In the latter years of the War of Succession, a one-eyed hero, Olaf by name, arose in the city of Whiterun. For as the Holds of Skyrim battled one another, the great Dragon Numinex terrorized the land. Olaf went forth, and according to his boasts, challenged the wyrm to single combat. With the power of the Thu'um, he cast the Dragon to the ground, and smote it many times with his great axe. The Dragon bowed to him as the victor, and Olaf gathered his men to shackle the sky-serpent. Into the Great Porch of the castle atop Whiterun they dragged the great monster, and there held it as a captive. Ever since that day, that keep was known as Dragonsreach.

Either by the glory of this deed, or by an earlier dealing, Olaf became Jarl of Whiterun Hold. He used his capture and imprisonment of dread Numinex to prove to the other Jarls his greatness. A council was declared, the Moot of Skyrim, at which Olaf persuaded the warring Jarls to cease their feud and name him High King. So it came to be that this great warrior became the ruler of all the men of the North.

The people of the north-western parts of Skyrim, of Solitude town and the forests of Haafingar, saw him still as a usurper. He made them kneel in submission, but secret slanders were exchanged among the people of Haafingar. A notable Bard wrote a verse accusing the Jarl of cowardice, of capturing Numinex while the Dragon was wounded, and stealing glory that was rightfully anothers. This verse was censored as sedition by Olaf's courts and councilors, but the legend of it still endured. Ever since his reign, the Bards' College in Solitude has burned Olaf in effigy for these abuses at the festival for the admission of new scholars and musicians.

But in Whiterun, Olaf was beloved. When Numinex met eventual death, his skull was displayed above the Jarl's throne, irrefutable proof of the existence of the Dragons that once ruled the skies and terrorized the land, for all generations to come.
