The Bookbinder Family

Cresthill
Cresthill was a town filled with Halflings and Gnomes. For the most part, life was pretty nice and peaceful. A new leader was brought in and soon life was restricted. More rules came into effect, less people came to visit the town of small people, their economy crumbled. A group of halflings and gnomes decided they wanted to go back to how it was before. They tried to usurp the leader of Cresthill but failed, therefore they left the town to make their own. Just a few miles north of Cresthill, New Cresthill was founded and built from the ground up. To increase population, the families within New Cresthill had large families and soon the town was bigger than Cresthill.

New Cresthill
Davyn was a small town bookbinder nearing the end of his apprenticeship in Cresthill. Shortly before the new leadership took over, he met Verna and they fell in love. When New Cresthill was founded, they decided it was the perfect opportunity to start a new business, and raise a family. They married, and had 10 children (Aura, Lavinia, Cora, Delgrace, Kithri, Eusima, Phairma, Tarra, Zeria, Brydan).

Tragedy
Nearly 100 years after the founding of New Cresthill, the town was raided and the youngest child, their only son, Brydan was taken. It's been 36 years since he was stolen, but the Bookbinders had to keep living.

Davyn Bookbinder 171 (135) - Davyn, is an eclectic man. He has red, frizzy hair sticking out in all kinds of directions. He's an avid reader and just loves to learn. He's high energy, and high spirits. He's always on the move, and always working hard for his family. When he moved to New Cresthill he saw it as an opportunity to start his own business after he finished his apprenticeship in Cresthill. Today, Davyn and Verna has turned Bookbinder's Books into a thriving business, and a large part of New Cresthill's community.
