The crest on the flags is that of a horse. Looking at the structure of the city both have the lesser people at the bottom of the hill, then the nobles a little higher up, then finally the palace at the top.

Now look at the palace structure. Both have columns on the outside as you walk in and are placed somewhat on a stone base. Also looking at the architecture of the cities building they are all similar in style. It is fairly similar to Laketown. It is contains much more differences though. Riften is built partially on land and partially on the water.

I also think Understone Keep resembles Erebor. Not the whole of Markarth just Understone Keep. Now look at the races in both. I'd say so. The Falmer remind me of the goblins in Moria as well. PSN: HawkEye. User Info: ManOEbony. I would say all modern day fantasies are greatly influenced by Tolkien not just the movies User Info: FluffyKidJoe. They're not that similar. For starters Rohan is a wooden town. On a related note Riften reminds me a lot of Laketown from the Hobbit, and Markath seems a lot like User Info: FillyPhlyers.

As they've said, Tolkein was the original kind of medieval fantasy universe so a lot is gonna be drawn from there but Whiterun also reminds me a lot of what I imagined Heorot from Beowulf funnily enough, the leader's name is "hrothgar" also used for High Hrothgar to look like.

User Info: HighOnPhazon. Whiterun is truly inspired by Rohan, more specifically Edoras, the seat of King Theoden. This is from the movies, btw. If you can't see the glaring similarities you're blind.
