"Well if you're that... flexible when it comes to work, I'm sure we'll have a position for you somewhere..." he says with a smirk, before holding out his hand. "I'm Fenrald by the way. It'll be a pleasure to help you get your bearings. I feel its my duty as an Imperial soldier to lend aid to any citizen however I can. Afraid I can't give you a walkabout tour, but I can point you in the direction of several places travellers like you might find interesting."
If you take his handshake, his grip is firm and he pulls you closer to him with the motion, although releases you after a quick shake, although his leering gaze seems all the more prominent even just this little bit closer to him. "Well you've found Castle Dour... we're close to the centre of the city here, so its a good spot to get your bearings to. You can also find the Temple to the Eight just through there. It was built as part of the same fortifications that Castle Dour is a part of, although the connecting hallways have been separated off and secured. Can't have pilgrims accidentally wandering in into the General's war room after all." he says with a light chuckle, a sense of humour unknowingly sprinkled with the irony of your real intent. "If you got here, you likely passed through the market. Solitude's got one of the most lively markets in Skyrim. We get fresh supplies and goods from the docks regularly, although the Trading Company has started holding them up a little more now with the war going on. Still, if you're in the market for something and you can't find anyone who has it in stock, check at the docks. They'll be able to tell you when it'll next be arriving and which stores will be getting shipments. They might also have work for you as well, down there. Although I imagine the guards you'd find hanging around down there are much less handsome than the ones up here." he says with a wink.
He points off down towards the side of the city you haven't been in. "Past the market is mostly residential, although once you get to the approach to the Blue Palace you get a few more buildings worth note. I'd say the one travellers would look for the most is the Bard's College. Not really familiar with much of the inner workings of that place, but plenty of travellers are drawn to this city for the bards alone. Plus they've always got a great supply of mead at their festivals, so they're good in my book. Then there's the Blue Palace. Its open for visitors, so you can go take a look. Not all of it, of course, but even in a time of war, Elsif still lets travellers come take a look at the main section of the Blue Palace. Guess that's just the kind of woman the Jarl is. People first and all that. That should be about all the main highlights of the city... if you've got any questions or were looking for anything in particular, feel free to just ask."
