According to an ancient legend, when the children of a werebear woman were abducted by evil fey while she was out picking berries, she tracked them to their encampment before transforming and going on a rampage, killing every single one of them and rescuing her children. When she died, her spirit was infused into a powerful shield. The maternity shield bears upon it the loving face of an older woman of unclear humanoid race, which appears to creatures with hostile intent towards members of your party as the face of an angry bear.
