Anyone notice the Holds that side with the Empire have only all male guards, porobaly due to the Legion having no random female troops after Helgan was destroyed by Aldiun (which does implie a bug seeing as there are random female legionares after the Unbound quest)151.226.177.250 12:39, January 26, 2013 (UTC) Do city/town/hold guards respawn or get "replaced with reinforcements"?

Reach/Rift Guards Edit

I'm somewhat a collector of items, playing the PS3 version of Skyrim. I've finished the main quests & traded Markarth for Riften, causing both holds to replace their original hold guards with Stormcloak & Imperial Guards respectively. My wonder is:

1. Will retaking either hold for either side return the original hold guards, or will they be re-replaced with the faction's own soldiers?
2. If they won't return, are there any other places within the hold to loot the original hold guard uniform, shield, and helmet?

Any help would be appreciated. Info on the original guards returning or not would likely help this article, and information on the uniform/shield/helmet locations would be a help on their respective articles too. 70.28.245.109 07:00, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

When a Stormcloak city (like Riften) is taken by the Imperials, the guards are permanently replaced. Guard armor can be random loot, but its rare. It's possible to get a full set, but it's hard. Good luck! Smaen ^(talk) 20:05, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Well, when I took back Markarth for the Imperials, the Reach hold guards came back. There's also a glitch I've come across in Riften when it's under Imperial control, where you can see a Rift guard fighting an Imperial soldier. Sgt. S.S. ^(talk) 13:28, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Haafingar Wolf Edit

Maybe it's just me, but I always thought the Solitude emblem looked more like a fox than a wolf. Anyone else agree? Should we change the page to say so? Sgt. S.S. ^(talk) 20:30, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Nope, it's a wolf due to Potema, The so called Wolf Queen of Solitude. See http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Hold_Guard_Shields

Guard dialogue.

Ugh, that armor stinks of death. You been grave robbing? While wearing Ancient Nord Armor.

Stormcloaks Edit

Do Eastmarch Guards have the same appearance as Stormcloak soldiers, because they are in the capital of the Stormcloak rebellion, and the armor looks the same in the inventory. Bioniclepluslotr</span> 02:46, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Confirmed that Eastmarch guards are wearing Stormcloak Cuirass. Bioniclepluslotr</span> 03:44, April 15, 2012 (UTC)

On a similar note, Haafingar guards can be seen with Imperial bracers. Sgt. S.S. ^(talk) 19:59, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Incorrect info Edit

Under the Haafingar guard section:

"Also it should be noted that Haafingar Hold Guards' helmets are dark brown on the crown, rather than the bronze color that is on every other "guard" helmet in the game."

Not true, the Whiterun guards have brown-crowned helmets as well. Can someone correct this, please (the page is protected, so I can't do it myself)? Sgt. S.S. ^(talk) 13:11, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

Spelling/grammar Edit

Under Falkreath Hold Guard, it says "Stormcloaksmay" rather than "Stormcloaks may". I would have corrected this myself if the article wasn't locked. -Copykun ^(talk) 22:58, November 2, 2012 (UTC)

Waste of time Edit

I noticed that in places that are not the capital of a Hold, if you have a small enough bounty one of your dialogue options when confronted by a guard is "I don't have time for this.And you?" which results in the guard becoming annoyed and letting you go.{{SUBST:Utente:Zoro the Gallade/firma1}} 21:14, November 13, 2012 (UTC)

Corrections Edit

In the last paragraph under the Falkreath Hold Guard header, Stormcloaksmay needs spacing added. Under Whiterun and Whinterhold Hold Guard headers, there's a {C} that doesn't seem to belong. -- Lexmechanic ^(talk) 22:30, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

It's been corrected. Thanks. —TombRaiser ^SPEAK! 22:51, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

More dialogue Edit

I'm not certain of the exact quotes so didn't think I should add.

When wielding a steel sword the guards say something like "Steel sword, that's a good choice for slashing or stabbing"

Ans when you have started with the companions they say something like "You've been seen in the company of the companions, that's an honourable path your on friend".

Maybe someone could verify and add these, I'm not sure how to find dialogue after missing the boat quest wise.

There's another one for Mer: "Don't cross me (or my path can't remember), elf. " I'm bosmer here. Wenny0119 ^(talk) 07:09, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

Rift guardsEdit

Riften is the city of crossed DAGGERS, like the book, of crossed daggers.

Guard can still see me

I experienced this sort of bug while i was doing dicerning the transmundane i really needed to get wood elf blood but i couldn't find any and i was too lazy to go find liar's retreat since i don't know where it is i decided to kill anoriath in whiterun since if you kill a contract before you receive the quest from the dark brotherhood you can turn it in without going out so i hid and assassinated him and got his blood but even though i was hidden this guard suddenly attacks me i checked my crime stats and i don't have a bounty the rest of the guards however didn't do anything and i killed the attacker in "self defense" no bounty anyone else experience this ?. But those guards they didn't help my new ebony sword's gonna get a shiny coat of red paint tonight.....
