The Hero’s Journey works on a lot of different stories, and it’s interesting because unlike the plot pyramid, it’s specific to a single character’s journey within a story. A simplified way to break this down would be, again, into a Three Act Story:

Departure: The hero leaves the Known World in search of something.

Initiation: The hero overcomes trials and tests in the Unknown World and achieves success.

Return: The hero comes back to the Known World, victorious.

There are a number of smaller supporting branches to this structure and have been organized into the 12 steps seen in the diagram above.

This story structure is fit for an epic hero. Also, it might spark some creativity with a story in which the idea of home is a big deal. A literal traveling quest would work well with ideas of the Known and Unknown World, and all that those stages represent.
