	Comment #1 by daardu Monday, October 03, 2011 @ 08:48:46 PM Sweet, guilds. I hope there are many more though.

	Comment #2 by d0ct0rscarecr0w Monday, October 03, 2011 @ 09:21:59 PM @1 I believe there are at least 7.

	Comment #3 by Gavo Saturday, October 08, 2011 @ 06:28:47 PM I think this is the fighters guild

	Comment #4 by TOC x InSaNiTy7 Thursday, October 13, 2011 @ 05:22:40 PM Yeahh, fighters guild :)

	Comment #5 by ServbotNamedSxE Sunday, October 23, 2011 @ 09:38:37 AM Sounds wussy to be the Fighters Guild. Guess between sounding wussy or generic either way they better have some better quests then the last fighters guild did in Oblivion!

	Comment #6 by DcMx Raven Saturday, October 29, 2011 @ 01:11:27 PM @2 I've heard there are only 4 main guilds: The thieves guild, the Companions, the College of Winter Hold and the Dark Brotherhood, I don't know how many other side guilds there are though.

	Comment #7 by aranbailey Friday, November 04, 2011 @ 11:07:36 AM The Companions are found in Whiterun

	Comment #8 by ElderGamer101 Saturday, November 05, 2011 @ 09:04:09 PM I think the companions are either the fighter's guild or one of the non-major guilds like the Knights of the White Stallion in Oblivion

	Comment #9 by mind if i pwn u Sunday, November 06, 2011 @ 06:21:03 AM The Companions are Skyrim's version of the Fighters guild. To join the Companions you need to receive an invitation from current Companion members. Earliest possibility of this would be on your way to Whiterun from Riverwood. You will come across a farm which is under attack by a giant. Help kill the giant and you will receive an invite. After doing a few menial tasks for the Companions within Whiterun they will allocate you a bed within the building. The achievement will then pop.

	Comment #11 by Gereorth666 Friday, November 11, 2011 @ 06:20:46 AM @10 Some people got the game earlier.. Like I did.

	Comment #13 by robtheverb13 Sunday, November 13, 2011 @ 09:31:01 AM @ 12 I didnt get an invite. I talked to one of the Companions and I got the option to as to join. I did a few tasks for them and then the achievement popped.

	Comment #14 by MCFC Blue Nose Monday, November 14, 2011 @ 07:16:07 PM Don't need an invite, that must be just another way to join

	Comment #18 by TREX1979 Sunday, April 01, 2012 @ 09:54:13 PM I'm on taking up arms - I give the sword to Eormund-grey main and before he gives me Aelas shield my game completely freezes sucks I have 297 hours in the game & I can't even join the companions SUCKS - unless anybody knows how to fix this??? I tried LB & RB with X to clear the game chache & that didn't even work

	Comment #19 by toddfn007 Saturday, April 07, 2012 @ 03:03:32 PM I killed a woman in the half moon mill when she caught me picking her pocket early in the game. Now I get the companion's quest to go intimidate her. The waypoint arrow is above her dead body in the mill. I can't advance the quest. I go can go way back to early save but I'd like to avoid that. Any ideas?

	Comment #20 by westie420uk Thursday, November 08, 2012 @ 03:40:16 PM Where do i find Eormund? its driving me crazy! i keep stoping to talk to people & it keeps giving me side quests to do. I just want to take him the stupid sword!
