A fighting company, often shortened to company, is a group of people that have joined together to fight as a unit. A given person may traditionally only be a member of a single company. A household is a group of people that wish to be associated with each other, but not necessarily fight together. Houses may be formed for any reason, and people can be in as many houses as they want, as opposed to companies.

Joining a company
"This is like picking a good pair of shoes, get the ones that fit right for you and save a lot of blisters." -Thoron Underhill
Each company has its own policies, its own style and culture. Take the time to get to know the group before you think about joining. Most people suggest that you avoid even thinking about joining a company until you are at least a year into your career.
