When setting up Mount Doom, it says to make Brake of Thorns the active location. On Brake of Thorns, it says "forced: after brake of thorns becomes the active location, each player assigns x damage amongst characters he controls."

Unfortunately, that triggers, correct? Basically you start the game with three damage on your heroes (if you have three of them)?

Yes it triggers... ouch.

Well X depends on your starting threat if I am not mistaken so it could be less than that, but yeah it triggers.
