… recruit followers

If you have someone in mind, ask them to join you on an expedition. Persuade them if necessary Seek Insight.

If you don't have someone in mind, tell the GM what sort of follower you're looking for ("a skilled tracker," "a knowledgeable guide," "someone who can handle themselves in a fight," etc.). They'll either tell you who in town fits the bill, or ask you to make someone up, or suggest that you Know Things.
