Five Hundred Companions

The Five Hundred Companions were a faction of Nords that returned with Ysgramor after the Night of Tears. The Night of Tears was an incident whereby the Elves of Tamriel burned down the Nords capital of Saarthal, and only Ysgramor and his sons escaped. Travelling to Atmora, he returned with his famed warriors, the Five Hundred Companions, to seek revenge.
