Location and residenceEdit

He can usually be found standing next to the Jarl's throne, in the Jarl's war room behind the throne, in his bedroom in the back rooms of Dragonsreach, or dining on the Great Porch. Rewards for completing bounties can be collected from him here.

InteractionsEdit

Main questEdit

After the dragonborn returns from killing the first dragon at the watch tower with Irileth, Proventus denies the probability that they are the Dragonborn and tells the Jarl that there is no evidence to support it. Using Unrelenting Force on him, however, does not prove this and only succeeds in making everyone in Dragonsreach hostile to the Dragonborn.

GeneralEdit

Aside from asking for information about Whiterun, the Dragonborn can fulfill bounties for Proventus by killing Giants and Bandit leaders outside of the city.

PropertyEdit

Breezehome, a house in Whiterun, may be purchased from Proventus for 5000 . All the furnishings needed to decorate the home are also sold by him.

Civil WarEdit

If the Dragonborn sided with the Stormcloaks during the Civil War, and takes Whiterun Hold, Proventus, Hrongar, Balgruuf and Irileth will enter exile in the Blue Palace in Solitude, and is replaced as Steward by Brill. However, if the Dragonborn kills Brill, Proventus returns as steward and serves the new Jarl, Vignar Gray-Mane.

Balgruuf's SwordEdit

Proventus' daughter, Adrianne, asks the Dragonborn to deliver a sword to him for Jarl Balgruuf. After bringing him the sword, he tells the Dragonborn he will give it to Balgruuf when "the time is right." He then equips the blade regardless.

QuestsEdit

• Kill the Bandit Leader
