Proving Honor is the quest that turns the Companions from a mercenary guild into something much stranger. Skjor sends you and Farkas to Dustman’s Cairn to recover a fragment of Wuuthrad, Ysgramor’s legendary axe.

Walkthrough

Inside the barrow, you’ll end up locked in a room – and the Silver Hand, werewolf hunters, show up. Farkas transforms into a werewolf and tears through them. Continue together through the draugr-filled tomb, learn a word of Fire Breath at the Word Wall and grab the fragment. Back at Jorrvaskr, Vilkas leads you to the Circle’s initiation.

Rewards

A Skyforge Steel weapon of your choice, access to Eorlund’s Skyforge wares and Wolf Armor, and a place in the Circle.
