Editing Campaign:EA-Exalted/Sheltering Arms (section)

=== Background ===
Sheltering Arms was a misbegotten of An-Teng, her mother a common baker who bore her out of wedlock and was slain along with her lover for her trouble. The young Sheltering Arms was cast out on the street to die or live as she could, and she chose to live. As she grew older, a knot of her fellow misbegotten began to form around her, each protecting the others, and the growing young woman protecting them all. They lived in the side streets and abandoned buildings of An-Teng - until one day, the government grew tired of the downtrodden taking their food and ruining their tourism. They sent a small detachment of militia to "take care" of Sheltering Arms' family. The misbegotten weren't having it, and fought back so intensely that every man was repulsed or killed. That night, Sheltering Arms' defiance earned her a visit from Luna, who explained to her the gift she had been granted and the duties she now bore. Sheltering Arms accepted without hesitation, casting aside her old name, and the next morning she began to convert an old building into a true home for her family, her newfound strength keeping potential attackers far, far away.

Sheltering Arms was left to learn how to be a Steward on her own until the arrival of Jackal, a Lunar of the Silver Pact. He was only passing through, but he taught her briefly and gave her her moonsilver tattoos, giving her the basics of Stewardship and a promise to return sometime.

Eventually, Sheltering Arms began to collect misbegotten from other nearby cities. She went on an expedition to Iron Bud, a small town not far from her base of operations, but once there the town was overrun by undead. Not willing to die after she had put in so much work, she fled to a nearby island nation with the refugees, and that's where she now stays.
