The Companions

The Companions are a guild of fighters, similar to the Fighters Guild, albeit with a less generic name. They may have some relation to the Five Hundred Companions led by Ysgramor, due to the similiarity of their names. Little is known about the group at this time. However, they are confirmed as being a faction that will appear in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Though it was confirmed in the audio leak that this faction is centered around Whiterun. It was confirmed in one of the hands-on articles that there is a sub-faction called the Shield-Brothers.
