History

The town of Driftwood was founded by the late Ellion Corell. As a Granthelian, his vision was of a quaint town without the walls which loomed over the districts of his homeland. He established Driftwood as a lumber town a short distance from Hearth to the east.

The town has experienced many trials in its history, including attacks by hostile creatures- werewolves and Blod'jurets alike- and major villains. The most scarring attack was led be seaside mercenaries, who razed homes along the coast and killed Ellion.

However, under the leadership of Kestrel Bobbin, the town reconstructed its homes, achieving an unprecedented population. Many flocked to the town to see the colorful homes and enjoy drink at the Drunken Huntress.

To this day, the town enjoys a respectable population and the occasional festival held in its grounds.

Government

Law

Driftwood has implemented no explicit laws and appears fairly laid back in its enforcement. The general consensus is "play nice."

Economy

Driftwood's economy is primarily driven by its lumber market. The town enjoys a wide coast with apt conditions for fishing, and some choose to sell their sea catches in its markets. The Drunken Huntress draws customers for its drinks and hospitality. Others make a living on small farms and gardens within the town.

While not-for-profit, the Driftwood Library, run by Yvet'Ninel, offers a large collection of literature for the public.
