History
Driftwood Asylum is located in Port Damali in the Menagerie Coast, located on a beach. The orphanage has criminal ties; the exact affiliation is unknown, but the Myriad and corruption in the Clovis Concord government were suggested as possibilities.

Fjord arrived at the orphanage circa 805 PD, and he was one of about twenty-four children living there. He was the only half-orc child, and the others were mostly human and half-elf. The children were primarily raised by each other.

While Fjord was living there, the orphanage was run by a cruel headmaster, Grankton, who used the children as free labor for carpentry and woodworking services to produce goods for sale. The headmaster also gave the children disparaging surnames to remind the children why they were at the orphanage; for example, Fjord was given the surname "Stone" to remind him that he was "cast aside, like a stone". Life at Driftwood Asylum has been repeatedly described as terrible.

Some time after early 837 PD, Fjord and Jester returned to Port Damali to rid the orphanage of its criminal ties, unseat Headmaster Granton and all of his associates, clean up conditions there, and.

Trivia

 * Although the term "asylum" is commonly associated with historical mental institutions, it was also a common term for orphanages in the 18th and 19th centuries and is found in many of their names during that period, notably in the United States and the United Kingdom.
 * Because Sabian grew up with Fjord, it is likely he was also raised in this orphanage.
