(Do you know how fast an army marches? About 4 km/h. Now, if they would take one month to march to Shardrock, and a horse would get there in 3/4th that amount of time, then a horse barely rides faster than single man strolls. Shit, I apparently ride my bicycle than a trained messenger horse.

Mhm. Watchtowers. You know, those things that one would totally plonk in the middle of nowhere. And even then, of course an army of 2000 of course doesn't have scouts riding in front of it to get rid of such troubles. If actual medieval armies with numbers ranging into the tens of thousands could show up on cities' doorsteps without any warning, then this 2000 man army can too.

Dragonsreach is higher up than that. Is Whiterun built on a mountain now? Also, take a look at the surroundings. It's a dense forest. Good luck spotting anything through that, especially in the night.

If you think this is unrealistic, then you really don't know anything about the shit they pulled during the middle ages, or even in the Roman empire.)
