Whiterun's founding dates back to the late Merethic Era, during the years of Ysgramor and his Five Hundred Companions. Since they landed on Mereth, the Atmorans traveled across their newfound land, to pave their destiny. The Circle of Captains took their crews and explored each corner of the land. The first to disembark Ysgramor's grand fleet was Jeek of the River and his companions of the Jorrvaskr. They moved south into the modern-day tundra in central Skyrim where the crew member, Jonder the Tiny discovered a mysterious monument with a bird figurehead lit by fire. With no elven settlement in sight, the Jorrvaskr descended from the mountains, coming to the conclusion that this monument was older than the elves, driving magic older than Nirn. The crew of Jorrvaskr settled next to the Skyforge and turned their old ship into a mead hall. The newly-founded settlement, built from exported Atmoran wood, earned its name because it circles the running of the White River. Like many other Nordic mead halls, a thriving community was built around Jorrvaskr and it eventually became the modern-day city and Jarldom. The ancient Nordic families, the Battle-Born and Gray-Mane clans date their ancestry to this point in time. In the settlement's earliest years, the Gildergreen was planted in what later became Whiterun's Wind District. It garnered the attention of pilgrims of Kynareth, who eventually built the temple that watches over the tree to this day.For an unspecified amount of time, sometime after the fall of the Dragon Cult but contemporary with the Reachmen, Whiterun was ruled by Jarl Gjalund. At this point, the settlement had become a city and the seat of power for an entire Nordic hold. The territory was much larger than it currently is, encompassing the fort-town of Korvanjund (currently in The Pale), the wooden hall of H'roldan, (currently in The Reach), and the former capital of the Dragon Cult, Bromjunaar (currently in Hjaalmarch).
