Questgiver: No
Reward: No
Get to the fortress
Your task is to get to the imperial fortress. But first you need to hide from the dragon's attack. Turn around. In front of you you will see a tower, go there after Ralof, a rebel from the Stormcloaks. Go inside. Climb up, at this moment the dragon will break out part of the wall. Dodge the flames. Jump down through the hole that has formed to the balcony of the tavern. Climb down and run through the city to the fortress. You can follow Hadvar, the Imperial who read out the names of the condemned. 
Enter the fortress with Hadvar or Ralof
You must choose who you go with. If you choose Hadwar, then you will fight the Stormcloaks in the fortress, if Ralof, you will fight the Imperials.
Escape from Helgen
Your main task is to escape from Helgen. The passage will depend on who you entered the fortress with. However, the result will be the same - you will leave Helgen. This choice will not affect the main story in any way. When you find yourself in the fortress, talk to Hadvar or Ralof. They will cut the fetters on your hands (for this you need to come close to the character).
***If you entered the fortress with Hadvar***
Find equipment
Look around. By the wall you will see a caretaker's chest, marked with a marker. Take away its contents.
Follow Hadvar. Kill all the rebels on the way and leave Helgen.
***If you entered the fortress with Ralof***

Examine the body of Gunyar (it lies nearby) and take armor and weapons from him. Wait for Ralof to look around the room. Kill the incoming Imperials and take the key from the commander's body.
Follow Ralof. Kill all the Imperials on the way and leave Helgen.

Go to Solitude, to the Laughing Rat Inn. Solitude can be reached by wagon and Whiterun. The tavern is located to the left of the city gates.

Give him the equipment you'll need at the embassy. I recommend stocking up on invisibility potions.

Talk to guests. Among them you will find the Altmer Ondolemar. Talk to him about distracting guests. Follow Malborn. 
Find information about the return of the dragons
There are two options for completing this task: sneak past the guards or kill everyone. To complete the mission quietly, enter stealth mode as soon as you part ways with Malborn. You will find yourself in the corridor, on the left will be opened door followed by the guards. Wait until they stop talking and sneak into this room (the guards will turn away for a few seconds) and quickly turn right and hide in a small storage room. When the guard moves away from the pantry, go further into the corridor and hide at the turn, as soon as the second guard comes out from around the corner, quickly slip to the door.
It's harder in the yard. You can also kill everyone or try to sneak, but this is difficult and, in my opinion, impossible without invisibility potions.
Sneak into the ambassador's quarters. There, quickly sneak to the chest and take the contents. Go down to the dungeons. There, in the chest, take another dossier. Read all dossiers.
Leave the Thalmor Embassy
In this place it is even more difficult, in order to escape from the basement of the embassy, you need to open the hatch. The key to the hatch is with the guard. You must either masterfully steal the key, or kill everyone and escape. Thus, you almost certainly will not do without a fight. Get down into the hatch and through the cave leave the embassy.
Talk to Delphine
Return to Riverwood to the Sleeping Giant Inn and talk to Delphine. Don't forget to take your items from the chest.
Additional tasks

Gives a task: Ralof or Hadvar
Terrain: Riverwood, Whiterun
Reward: Gifts from Hadvar or Ralof
After you have spoken to Gerdur, sister Ralof and the owner of the sawmill, or Alvor, a blacksmith from the same city, you will need to go to Whiterun. You will have to get there on your own two feet. You may also meet members along the way. Guild Companions and if you help them defeat the giant, then they will offer you a place in their guild. One way or another - our path leads us to the jarl whiterun. However, before entering the city, a guard will stop you. According to him, the entrance to the city is closed due to the increased frequency of dragon attacks, and now no one is allowed into the city - only for official reasons. We explain to the guard what the matter is and that the city is in danger and the path to the city is open to us.
Now we go to the Jarl's palace - the Dragon Limit. To do this, you need to go through two levels of the city. When you enter the palace, you will be met by Jarl's housecarl, Airilet who needs to be told about what happened in Helgene and of course the dragon. She will immediately direct you to the jarl. Now you need to talk to him. After the conversation, the jarl decides that you need to send help to riverwood and the task will be completed.
Brief walkthrough
- Talk to Alvor or Gerdur in Riverwood
- Talk to the Jarl of Whiterun
Complete walkthrough
You should go to Riverwood alone, or accompanied by a companion - Hadvar or Ralof, depending on the choice made in the previous quest. Along the way, you will encounter several wolves.
Upon arriving in Riverwood, the player character should seek out Alvor, the local blacksmith, if Hadvar was chosen as a companion during the flight from Helgen, or Gerdur if Ralof was chosen as a companion. They will offer a reward for helping their relative. Then, on their advice, you should visit the Jarl of Whiterun, in the Dragon's Reach.
After crossing the bridge, you should move north until you see Whiterun. The guard at the gate will report that the city is closed. Any of the proposed answers will allow you to get into the city. Head to Dragon's Reach and speak with the Jarl.
Notes
- While the Golden Claw quest is active, you can't talk to Alvor.
Bugs
- In some cases, when talking with Gerdur, there will be no topic about dragons, which will not allow you to continue with the main task.
- If Hadvar appears in Riverwood before the player character, Alvor may be inside his house instead of outside. In this case, it is likely that it will not be possible to inform him about the dragon. To solve this problem, you should go directly to the jarl and tell him about the dragon attack on Helgen, thereby completing the quest.
