Westshire

The small village of Westshire is located in the South-Eastern corner of the Moon Islands. It is a small village, populated by some 163 Adults, the majority of which are hobbits. It is one of the few democracies in the realm, and holds annual elections for its leadership. It is known for its pipeweed, and famous for its fletchers.

History
The Village of Westshire was founded by the venerable Mister Boffo I Stubbletoes in the year 150 A.K. The reasion for Mister Boffo's presence in the Moon Islands is unknown, though the family heavily denies that he was sent there as a prisoner or exile, rather maintaining that he came out of the goodness of his heart to help the poor suffering halflings on the Moon Isles.

Since then the village has been ruled by the Stubbletoes in all but name. The ancestor of Boffo I, Boffo V, is the current mayor of the town and has been for many years. It is not uncommon for the Stubbletoes to tell of their family's grand history, which is accurate to varying degrees...Adventurers should be wary of questioning any of the Stubbletoes too much 'lest they find themselves at the receiving end of a very, very long story.

Society
The Village of Westshire is largely a peaceful one. Indeed the twelve Sheriffs who guard the town are considered more ceremonial than anything else. Yes, the Halflings of Westshire much prefer a peaceful night in the inn's common room smoking their pipes than any of that horrid adventuring business.

Though Westshire is a democracy, it has never had a mayor who has not been a Stubbletoes. Indeed, the closest thing they have come to political upheaval is when Boffo IV Stubblestoes beat his father, Boffo III Stubbletoes, when the latter was standing for election. Others of course stand for election each year, but it has never really been a contest...yet.
