Xavril Beestinger

Xavril Beestinger was a Halfling who founded the notable Halfling town of Greenhills.
==Backstory==
Xavril Beestinger was abandoned in a forest when just two weeks old. He was found by an Elf named Panlamin Dawntracker, who discovered the youngster on a Raven Queen shrine, surrounded by hundreds of dead bees. When these bees were examined, it was discovered that they had been stung to death. This gave Beestinger his surname. There is a legend that Beestinger was the child of the Raven Queen, and could shape-shift, so when he was attacked by bees turned into one himself, and stung them all to death. This is probably not true.
Beestinger had a relatively undescript childhood, in which he learned the fighting and political arts. He worshipped the Raven Queen, and might have become a monk of her beliefs had his foster father not angled him towards a political career. However, Beestinger had acquired a large amount of Halfling followers, who he had all persuaded to worship the Raven Queen. They had often discussed setting up a town for the Raven Queen, and when Beestinger was 18, he set out to find the place where he believed the Raven Queen had first come into this world.
Beestinger and his followers had many adventures on their way to the site, in which they fought against bugbears, Goblins, drakes and worshippers of Orcus. But after 25 years of wandering the woods, Beestinger finally arrived at his sacred site. He announced that the new town would be called Greenhills, after the many meadows and pillocks that surrounded the area. Beestinger was Town Mayor of Greenhills for the rest of his long life, which ended when he was 150 years old.
==Legacy==
The Beestinger family has since always had the post of Town Mayor, excluding the brief period under the regime of Khasek Mutin. Greenhills has since prospered, due to the fact that it is ideally placed near a river that leads into the Halfling city of Wiwic. The Raven Queen is still the patron deity of Greenhills, and in respect to Beestinger's foster parents, Elven folk are treated extremely well in the public houses of Greenhills.
