The Fading Lens

The Fading Lens is an Ironsworn supplement geared toward learning more about your character and your allies' past. It's an encounter aimed at generating character backstory.

Using positive and negative story prompts, you will fashion a backstory of your characters. Use these to add to your established fiction or to inspire new dramatic threads.
