Editing Queen Sootsleeves (section)

==Chronology==
===Origin===
Her creation on the Paths led her to lead a "crusade" on them that took her through several Paths before settling and forming her own. Eventually she was bound, specifically by Chester Garrick.
===Modern Day===
After being released by Avery and Verona, following the negotiations of the terms of the release which included three tasks or favors,<ref>Verona spoke up, calling over.  The queen turned to look at her.  “Will your kingdom adopt our laws?”<br><br>“You’d be free,” Avery said.  “More or less.  We’d also cooperate.  But you can’t go invading or taking over, you can’t cause problems.  Just… find a nice spot, set up, do your thing.  It’s gotta be better, right?”<br><br>“We’ve slept so long the dust can be measured in handspans.  If you’d free my people, you’d have my gratitude, and my agreement, my torch, my sword.  For one task.”<br><br>“Cool beans,” Avery said.<br><br>“Make it three?” Verona asked.<br><br>The woman looked at her, eyes narrowing.<br><br>“She’s with me,” Avery said.<br><br>“Then I’m with her, it seems,” Queen Sootsleeves said.  “Three, I’m to follow your laws and lend you assistance?”<br><br>Avery nodded.  “Sure.  And after, you find some place away from civilization.  For your own good, and so you don’t cause anyone we know any trouble.  If you have any goodwill, you’ll stick to the laws even after.  Generally.”<br><br>“We’ll negotiate that at the conclusion of our deal,” the Queen told Avery.<br><br>“If I can’t come to any agreement for your requests or you can’t agree to mine, will we agree to a compromise where you return to the paths?”<br>[...]<br>“That is what I know it as.  Yes.”<br><br>They sorted out the nitty gritty details, including behavior in the Lord of Thunder Bay’s domain. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/11/13 Excerpt] from [[Playing a Part 15.5]]</ref> she left the abandoned building she was in via the window.

She warned Avery and Verona that [[Theodora Knight]] was intending to kidnap and mutilate children,<ref>“Yes and no,” Queen Sootsleeves replied.  “Nothing against Thunder Bay, like you asked about.  But she has a group of children with her, and she intends to spirit them away.”<br><br>"Spirit-”<br><br>“Kidnap.  Ferry them to another realm.  To be consumed, perhaps, or be used for their power, or her own amusement.  Her intentions are not good.”
<br><br>Verona and Avery exchanged looks.<br><br>“I’ll keep watch, for acts against this territory, or acts in support of this territory’s enemy, as you asked for my first favor to you.  Would you like to use a second?  To help stop her?” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/11/13 Excerpt] from [[Playing a Part 15.5]]</ref> she transferred them to the site to stop her.<ref>[[Playing a Part 15.7]]</ref>

Avery said she'd likely use her second favor to ensure the [[The Beorgmann|Beorgmann's]] abductees got to safety.<ref>“Yes,” Bridge replied.  “From the clutches of an Other who hasn’t fully released his grip.”<br><br>“Does that mean that if they’re out there on their own, and if they wander, they might end up veering right back into that place they were captured from?”<br><br>“Yes,” Rook replied.<br><br>“I can call Queen Sootsleeves, work out a favor.  Her minions would be able to cover a lot of ground.  Steer them to safety.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/01/22 Excerpt] from [[Left in the Dust 16.z]]</ref>

She and her kingdom were tapped for the creation of a third Kennet,<ref>“Did you make a decision?  About the founding?”<br><br>Sootsleeves nodded.  “We’ll contribute.  No guarantee we’ll stay, but we’ll do our part.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/04/19 Excerpt] from [[Gone and Done It 17.5]]</ref> helping with the creation of needed objects and ready to be stationed to "catch" the process.<ref>Avery explained, “We’ll have shrines at the perimeter, then the eleven arrangements of the mundane, which again, I want to ask about later.  The mundane stuff will be both a wall of ‘normal’ against the Lost energies and how we pull our Lost friend out from the Paths.  Then demesne, council seat, ideally something else too.  Some diagram work at the bullseye point, to refocus the energies.  That braces us.  A catcher’s mitt for the fastball.  Queen Sootsleeves will be bracing us some, so will some other Others we’ve got.  Ones that know how to manage power, or who’ll eat excess power and stay standing.”<br>[...]<br>Verona explained, “Avery brought the items we need, courtesy of Queen Sootsleeves.  We’re going to do another twelve.  We’re confident we can get that done tonight and early tomorrow.  The goblins and undercity people who held onto their stuff in hopes of getting the prizes don’t get anything.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/02/12 Excerpt] from [[Gone and Done It 17.6]]</ref>

She did her part trying to keep the invaders in Kennet on the back foot.<ref>[[Gone and Done It 17.11]]</ref>

She settled onto the periphery of [[Kennet Found]] in a Hold of her own following her role in the Founding.<ref>[[Gone and Done It 17.x]]</ref><ref>[[Gone and Done It 17.y]]</ref>
