Lydia is a Nord housecarl who resided in Whiterun, originally serving under Jarl Balgruuf the Greater. She became known for her sworn service to carry the Dragonborn's burdens all across Skyrim.[1]
In 4E 201, Lydia was appointed as a housecarl to the Last Dragonborn after they became a Thane of Whiterun, as a reward for slaying the dragon Mirmulnir.[2] Lydia explained that she was sworn to the Dragonborn and that she would guard the Dragonborn and all they owned with her life.[3] Reports claim that Lydia accompanied the Dragonborn on many adventures, most notably on Solstheim, where she met the Skaal Frea, and Lydia noted how well Frea fought for a Skaal.[4][5]
