The Grandest City of the ReachBayvic has long been a centre for traders and the leader of one of the most influential trade leagues in the Reach. With the recent orcish invasion of the eastern Reach many refugees have fled from their homes and are moving into Bayvic, creating for us a large workforce, and allowing our city to ensure its place as the largest in the Reach. After all, if we are truly the example of what a true Reachman city aspires to be, we must open our brethren with open arms.

Ream of the ReachThe process of making paper in Bayvic is no simple one, without any form of press or other tool each page must be hand crafted, and the process is long and laborious. Despite this the profession of papermaking has caught on in Bayvic, and thanks to the difficulty of the process we hold a monopoly on the paper production in the Reach, and our reams can be seen from the Alen to Gerudia.

On Land and SeaThe Gawedi, famed for the endless armies and their great bravery, and the Grombari, famed for their ferocity and iron discipline, have both tried their hand at invading Bayvic, and both have been repelled.\n\nThe Gawedi found them themselves harassed at every step by men all over the Reach (by our guidance, naturally!), and while their soldiers outnumbered ours 10-to-1, they were far from home and their resolve did not match our own. They were bled out slowly, but certainly, with each passing day their forces dwindling until finally, unable to sustain, their losses they were forced to withdraw.\n\nThe Grombari did not fare much better, with the brunt of their invasion force coming from the sea, our elite oarsmen were able to sink much of their fleet by outmaneuvering them in the Drowned Giant Isles sending their great host to a certain demise in the icy depths. A scarce few of the Grombari army made it to our shores, and those who did found themselves outnumbered and peppered by Bayvic crossbowmen.

The Fourth ProngBeginning in 1463 we saw a mass migration of goblins from their previous "homes" in Escann. While many in the Reach saw these lost souls as monsters, we took them under our wing, allowing them to settle in our capital, as we did our Reachmen brothers years before. Over the years we saw more and more goblin migrants to Bayvic, and their numbers quickly grew until they were a sizable population within the city.\n\nGoblins soon became a part of the city as would any other Reachman, and many had shown their resilience and business acumen, not to mention their fervour in defense of the city against its many enemies. Eventually, they were given citizenship and granted the right to vote in 1584. Over the years it became more and more common to see a goblin candidate in what was previously a human position, and in 1602, Reb of the Westflowers, an incredibly popular goblin born and bred in Bayvic, was elected to the most high office of Bayvic, or Bayvek as the goblins call it. Under his leadership, and the subsequent goblins that came after him, Bayvic's power grew tenfold both as a mercantile power in the past but also as a burgeoning birthplace of goblin artificery.
