Stewards are owl-like beings native to Bastion in the Shadowlands.[2] Born of the magic of Death, they serve as groundskeepers and artificers who keep Bastion pristine, assemble anima-fueled automatons known as Centurions, fix anything broken, and offer companionship and support to the kyrian.[1][3] Stewards exist solely to aid the kyrian, and they become rather depressed if they can't perform their duties.[4] Each steward dotes on a "Paragon" and keeps mementos of their achievements.[1] Mikanikos, the Forgelite Prime, is considered the smartest of all stewards.[5] They are skilled in forging, serving, combat, and otherwise.

Notes and trivia
- Stewards share animation properties with pygmies, meaning their models can be stacked on top of one another, which can be seen in Hero's Rest, Bastion.[6]
- In a BlizzCon 2019 interview, Ion Hazzikostas joked that stewards are actually gnome druids in
[Moonkin Form].[7] - Some players jokingly refer to stewards as "swolekin" (a pun on "swole" and owlkin), a term coined by the YouTube content creators Taliesin & Evitel following BlizzCon 2019.
- In the Cliffs of Respite, there is a statue of a steward doing an underhand conventional deadlift.
- Stewards have both male and female sound files.[8][9]
- Stewards' speech patterns are inspired by the grammatical structures of American Sign Language.[10]
