Skyrim:Dragon Rising

Summary

Shortly after you return the Dragonstone to Farengar, Irileth will approach to inform him that there has been a sighting of a dragon at Whiterun's Western Watchtower not far west of the city. Irileth will then ask Farengar and you to meet with Jarl Balgruuf. Follow them there, where a somewhat unnerved Whiterun guard will recount seeing a dragon flying over the watchtower. Balgruuf will ask you to accompany Irileth, as she goes to investigate and, if necessary, do battle. She will recruit several Whiterun Guards along the way.

The quest grants significant power and status through rewards like Dragon Shouts and Thaneship. It involves heroism by defending Whiterun from a dragon, and supports lawfulness by aiding the Jarl.
