Hi Thanks for the info. I found Lydia, I just thought that maybe if there was a new Jarl there would be a new housecarl. I guess it's time to get the first expansion. I have all four of my companions in my house in Solitude and they are just sitting around waiting for something to do. LOL I'm pretty sure that I've done pretty much everything. I'm head of the College, the Thieves guild, The Companions, finished off the Big Dragon, eliminated the Assassins Guild, did some Bard quests. but that just kind of petered out, and I've freed Skyrim from the Imperials. I'll have to go back and look at the Bard's College, I don't think I finished that but it's not clear what I'm supposed to do. I don't have any Bard references in my Journal, in fact my Journal is almost empty now, and one of them I can't complete because of a glitch. Mike
