I'm seeing a lot of potential for ridiculousness and awesome from some of the character meetups that might happen in the future.
It's exciting.

That's one crippling mutation right there.
For other people, too. :u
Man, abandoned by her partner in crime? What a shitty way to wind up in the middle of nowhere.
Any ideas who/what will come across each member of Team Thunderstorm? :P

What is the money system in this world?
Probably varies from area to area. I'd assume that just copper+silver+gold coins, and bartering, would work well enough though.
Warning: Long-ish post incoming.
Edit: No idea why the names are separating like that but it is going to have to work for now.
Probably need to remove the H2 tags that're there and wrap them around the entirety of the characters' names.
I hope Ben likes the taste of giant bat things.

The carvings all come out in the shape of a cactus. The wall of the tower is covered in hundreds of crudely chiseled cacti.

Thinkin' up a location I think would be interesting for later down the road.
The Tower of the Old Gods
A twisted structure juts out of the forest, carven of smooth, glassy grey stone, as if an entire mountain were sacrificed to build it. It doesn't seem physically possible for such a thing to support its own weight, yet here it is, like a grand middle finger to known architecture. Numerous smaller structures in all shapes and sizes dangled from the sides of the tower on the way up, each supported by no more than the bridge of stone that connects it to the tower's main structure. There are no windows. Anywhere. Periodically, a truly enormous bird flies to and from a point on the tower - perhaps it's made a nest there?
The base of the tower is, despite the tower's size, rather small, and it's difficult to identify at which point it starts expanding. The front door arch is covered in markings in an ancient language - "VONAR", "EINAR", "GOROGOTH", and "STREIS" on the top of the arch. The door itself has more markings, but these appear to be a schedule listing the Times of Worship, which are four times a day, seven hours apart from eachother, and nine days per week. Something seems wrong about that. Another small list detailing the donation and tax systems is present, but there's not much of interest there. The door is locked, and will only open again when a suitable band of adventurers gathers before it.
A several century old flyer for a bake sale is, somehow, still intact and glued to the side of the door arch. You're a few hundred years late, so the cookies have probably sold out, unfortunately.

So, question.
Do most of the inhabitants of the Continent know what the mark of the Vigils means, or just some?

Due to my lack of knowledge in amnesia I googled it. Turns out, Retrograde amnesia loses memories after an accident while Anterograde amnesia is the inability to create new memories. A person with retrograde amnesia can still make new memories but has lost memories of who they were before that. Though, the more recent memories are lost so distant memories are kept. What your character has by what I've read in the posts and character sheet seems to be Anterograde amnesia which makes life quite a bit harder really since we have no idea how to treat it with medicine and I'm not entirely sure if there is any magic known to man which could heal such a thing.
Ah, excuse me. The terms must have gotten mixed up in my head in the past few years. Sorry about that, you're exactly right :D
The only known 'cure' is hoping the injury wasn't too severe and that the brain will heal itself, from what I remember.
Anyhow, she tries to cope via heavy journal usage and secondhand information, and it's been long enough that she simply stopped caring. Of course, the journal only helps so much...
Magic, to me, requires intimate knowledge of some aspect of what you're trying to modify, so yeah, "normal" medical magics, as they exist in her homeland, won't likely be able to heal it for a few centuries - and I don't think she'd be willing to accept the treatment in the first place.
