Delve's Legacy Moves
After clearing a site, players use 'legacy moves' to reflect on their journey, claiming rewards, building bonds, or uncovering long-lost secrets that change the narrative landscape.True Delving Fact
In Ironsworn Delve, the 'Delve the Depths' move was inspired by real-life caving techniques used by explorers in uncharted underground labyrinths.
