You get them by having a Harrowing Experience!
~runs~
(~grins~ Sorry! I wish I had better info for you.)
Am I missing something? I see mechanics for spending Harrow Points, but where is it detailed what they are and how to get them?
Look at the Harrow Chapter (pg 58?). You get one point for every time the suit of the adventure shows up in your assigned reading at the beginning of the adventure.
Actually, each PC gets one point for his own card (regardless of what that card is), plus one for each card that matches the adventure's suit. First paragraph of page 13, just under the floorplan of the Old Fishery.
So if you end up with three "Keys"-suit cards in the reading, each PC gets 4 harrow points for that adventure, not 3.

The amount of points you give out for a Harrowing is detailed on page 13, in the first paragraph on the page (the one that starts: "Each time a Harrow reading from Zellara's deck occurs...").
But yeah, basically, the PCs each get 1 point + 1 additional point for each adventure-themed card that shows up in the reading. They can thus have anywhere between 1 and 10 points.
If you aren't using the deck (or want to abbreviate or skip the harrowing) you can just let each player roll 1d10 to determine how many points they start with, but that feels a little boring...

It's also not totally accurate, because the maximum number of points that are given out to the party is supposed to be equal to the number of players plus 9.

Eh?
p13: "jot down how many of the cards in that reading’s spread are cards from the current adventure’s suit. This determines how many Harrow Points each PC receives."
So, each player receives between 1 and 10 points. If you were going to wimp out and use a die, though, it should be one roll for the whole party, not one roll apiece.
Unless we're expected to perform a separate reading for each of our players, which I can pretty much promise you I'm not going to do.

D'oh! I totally misread that section. I was thinking that they got a point each time the suit of their selected card appeared in the spread. In which case my "9" thing would *still* be wrong, because more that one player could have the same suit anyway.
Sigh. It's been a long day. (As evidenced by the fact that I'm still at work...)
