TheGenerator - Ironsworn - Journey of Lost Hope

[i]It's been a few years now since they took her. It's always the same. They come on a rainy day, just before dusk. Hooded figures wielding the power of fire. Are they even human? Who knows. The only thing we do know is that they demand a sacrifice. Last time, it was my sister Irina. I swore that day that I would find her and bring her back, no matter how long it takes.

But I was too young to head out. Only 14 years old myself. Far too small to take on such a quest. So I bided my time and honed my skills. Waited for the moment when I could leave Olfhaven and start my journey. That day was a fortnight ago now. I have been traveling towards a nearby settlement named Dawntower. I can see it in the distance. My feet hurt and I haven't slept well since I started, but it should be no more than 2 hours of walking now. I can take a few days to rest while I try to gather information. At least the weather is nice today...[/i]

Suddenly a man appears from behind some trees [b]"Sir! Please, you have to help me!"[/b] He says.

This is my first time trying a solo adventure and using Ironsworn. I might mess up some rules or do things my own way.
As I learn more about the game, I might change things about my character sheet if I feel like it fits better.
Any advice is welcome and feel free to let me know what you think! :)

[spoiler="Truths"]
[b]The old world[/b]
The sickness moved like a horrible wave across the Old World, killing all in its path. Thousands fled aboard ships. However, the plague could not be outrun. On many ships, the disease was contained through ruthless measures—tossing overboard any who exhibited the slightest symptom. Other ships were forever lost. In the end, those who survived found the Ironlands and made it their new home. Some say we will forever be cursed by those we left behind.

[b]Iron[/b]
The imposing hills and mountains of the Ironlands are rich in iron ore. Most prized of all is the star-forged black iron.

[b]Legacies[/b]
Other humans sailed here from the Old World untold years ago, but all that is left of them is a savage, feral people we call the broken. Is their fate to become our own?

[b]Communities[/b]
We live in communities called circles. These are settlements ranging in size from a steading with a few families to a village of several hundred. Some circles belong to nomadic folk. Some powerful circles might include a cluster of settlements. We trade (and sometimes feud) with other circles.

[b]Leaders[/b]
Leadership is as varied as the people. Some communities are governed by the head of a powerful family. Or, they have a council of elders who make decisions and settle disputes. In others, the priests hold sway. For some, it is duels in the circle that decide.

[b]Defense[/b]
Here in the Ironlands, supplies are too precious, and the lands are too sparsely populated, to support organized fighting forces. When a community is threatened, the people stand together to protect their own. Larger settlements rely on a militia of sorts to guard the town.

[b]Mysticism[/b]
Magic is rare and dangerous, but those few who wield the power are truly gifted. All of them, however, are feared and often hunted.

[b]Religion[/b]
The people honor old gods and new. In this harsh land, a prayer is a simple but powerful comfort.

[b]Firstborn[/b]
The firstborn hold sway in the Ironlands. The elves of the deep forests and the giants of the hills tolerate us and even trade with us—for now. Ironlanders fear the day they decide we are no longer welcome here.

[b]Beasts[/b]
Beasts of all sorts roam the Ironlands. They dwell primarily in the reaches, but range into the settled lands to hunt. There, they often prey on cattle, but attacks on travelers, caravans, or even settlements are not uncommon.

[b]Horrors[/b]
We are wary of dark forests and deep waterways, for monsters lurk in those places. In the depths of the long-night, when all is wreathed in darkness, only fools venture beyond their homes.[/spoiler]
