In your first session, envision your current situation. Something has happened—or is about to happen—which puts you on the path of the Ironsworn. This is your inciting incident. Make it personal. Give it teeth. It’s not a situation you can just walk away from. You must set things right.

If you need inspiration for this starting situation, have a look at the prompts for vows in chapter 4 - ‘Your World’ (page 111) and chapter 5 - ‘Foes and Encounters’ (page 133). Or, you can Ask the Oracle (page 107) and interpret the meaning of the answer.

To learn more about starting your campaign, see page 193. Then, Swear an Iron Vow and play to see what happens.

Work through the following steps in whatever order you prefer.

1. Envision your character (page 31)
2. Choose a name (page 33)
3. Set your stats by arranging these bonuses across edge, heart, iron, shadow, and wits in any order: 3, 2, 2, 1, 1 (page 33).
4. Set your health, spirit, and supply to +5 (page 33).
5. Set your momentum to +2, your max momentum to +10, and your momentum reset to +2 (page 35).
6. Mark up to three background bonds (page 36).
7. Pick three assets (page 39).
8. Make note of any important equipment or items (page 45).
9. Set a background vow, and give it a rank of extreme or epic. Then, envision your inciting incident and Swear an Iron Vow. For details on setting up your campaign, see page 193.
