If a character with Shield 1 (Fiora) gains Shield 2 from a location (Fortified Position) while defending, do multiple instances of Shield stack together?

Ruling: Yes, multiple instances of the Shield keyword stack. Add their values together to determine the total bonus might gained while defending.

Sequence:

• Character has Shield 1 from their own text
• Location grants Shield 2
• Total Shield value becomes 3 (1+2)
• Character gains +3 might while defending
