Hey there, just wanted to check if this is a known issue or something which will resolve itself.

I was playing as a vassal to the Nords with a single fief when the city controlling my village got taken, lowering my force limit below the number of troops I actually had. This didn't seem to have any effect immediately; however, after my next fight (in which I took maybe 3 or 4 losses of regular troops) all of my companions had vanished from my party. I was still above my force limit, as none of my regular troops vanished.

I figured this was just to bring me down closer to my force limit; however, having played on for a week or two of game time past that point, there's still no sign of them. If I attempt to ask a traveller in a tavern about their whereabouts, it immediately defaults to my character saying "never mind", not giving me the option to inquire about them. It would seem that they have vanished completely.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
