Mother of Exiles

The Mother of Exiles is one of the more powerful spirits of New York City, and some believe her to be the City-Heart of New York, though given how spirits can be fluid in many ways, this has never been confirmed nor disproved. In any case, the Mother of Exiles does watch over the entire City, but is especially interested in the fates of the immigrant community and minority groups, and has shown a distinct sympathy for Anarchist politics, perhaps because she was named by Emma Lazarus.

Anyone who wishes to speak with her must first gift a homeless person somewhere in New York with food, preferably food from a marginalized or oppressed group, and then must go to the Statue of Liberty at midnight and humbly request an audience.

The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus
''Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, ''

''With conquering limbs astride from land to land; ''

''Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand ''

''A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame ''

''Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name ''

''Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand ''

''Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command ''

''The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. ''

''“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she ''

''With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, ''

''Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, ''

''The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. ''

''Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, ''

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
