Driftwood
A LGBTQ+ Roleplay Free Company on Mateus
Introduction
Driftwood is a group of like-minded souls who see to make Eorzea and the Star as a whole better for their part in it. While their primary activities involve working with the Adventurer's Guild, Hunt Masters, and Grand Companies the group devotes most of its pooled resources into supporting those often overlooked by the City States and their allies.Whether it's providing food to their neighbors, aiding the recently tempered, or improving relations with outcast tribes the members of Driftwood are always fighting for and challenging something.
OOC
Driftwood <<DW-RP>> is a roleplay focused free company on Mateus. We started as a group of queer friends, and have grown from here while staying true to our roots of diversity and inclusion. We plan to stay small and focus on character driven roleplay with an adventurous spirit.

The Story So Far...
The story of Driftwood begins in the early months following the time called the End Days, when a group of scattered adventurers come together under a common flag.Our story is just beginning...

Driftwood follows an alternate and more accessible timeline for Roleplay by acknowledging each Earth Year as one Eorzean Year. No, we don't know why the twins are like that either.

Timeline
In order to make playing active characters in an adventurous roleplay setting possible we follow a more realistic timeline than canon. By this reckoning one year of Earth time = one year of Eorzea time. This diverges from the official timeline during the events of A Realm Reborn beginning in Year 5 of the Seventh Umbral / Astral Era.
