Reach hold guards vary in wielding one-handed iron or steel weapons, but still use Imperial bows like their counterparts in the other Imperial-controlled holds. All Imperial-controlled holds, save for The Reach, have their guards armed with Imperial Swords and Imperial Bows. Weapons carried by the hold guards vary depending on which hold they belong to. Hold guards carry a round wooden shield, which varies in color and typically displays the symbol of the hold across the front. They also wear the same type of helmet, however the colors vary depending on the hold. These guards protect the capital cities of each hold, and any other settlements within.Īll hold guards wear similar armor sets the only differences being the color of the sash and material of the undershirt used, either scaled or quilted. Glad to see I'm not the only one who's experienced it, and it makes a bit more sense now.Every Hold in Skyrim has its own Guard. Same terrified and shocked reaction by me! Lol! Same dialogue options, and same eventual outcome. Shortly thereafter I went into the Keep and when I came out was when the whole town approached me, led by a guard, then asked me that same question as noted by OP. When I exited everyone was going about their business with the dragon now gone, but doing their usual "Oh, what happened?" when they pass the corpses of the slain.there were lots of corpses all over the place.both guards and civilians. I was also playing with Requiem so having just started a new character was in no shape to battle a dragon, so I cowered in one of the corners next to Grelka.It seemed the dragon was stuck in a loop so I made a run for the Bee and Barb.went in the one side and then out again the other side.

As soon as I set foot outside the gates a dragon attacked, flew over the city and started killing all manner of town's folk, including several guards. Started a new game with the Skyrim Unbound mod, and had Riften as my starting location.
