fellowship
Brotherhood among peers
Fellowship is companionship or friendly association, especially among people who share interests or goals: the fellowship of fellow travelers, a sense of fellowship among veterans.
It extends to groups united by common purpose—a fellowship of scholars, a religious fellowship.
In academic contexts, a fellowship is a funded position or grant for advanced study or research: She received a fellowship to study abroad.
In fantasy literature, a fellowship is a band united by a quest.
