History[]
Origins[]
While Dinesck's origins are largely unknown, many scholars postulate that it was founded by Bayvicmen as a base for fur-hunting and processing.
During the Era of Black Ice, Dinesck remained largely unnoticed by the Reavers, who primarily focused their efforts on Bayvic, and under Adshaw, Dinesck remained undistinguished. Its first appearance in the historical record was the Sack of Dinesck, during which Gawedi soldiers plundered the city after their defeat by Bayvic.
Even when goblins rose to power in so-called Bayvek, other Reachmen assumed the same must have happened in Dinesck.
Notable Citizens[]

"By the toll of a million deaths man has bought his birthright of the woods, and it is his against all comers; it would still be his were the Greatwoods ten times as mighty as they are. For neither does a Reachman live nor die in vain!" - Humban Godric Wells
Though some Reachmen embrace the Greatwoods, and others simply choose to avoid it, the Dinesckers view life as a battle against those dark woods (and the many beasts within), and every soldier who fights more ordinary wars as been well honed in that prior conflict.
Dinesck began as a fur-camp nestled into the woods, and thus was forced to fell many trees as it steadily grew. The appetite grew as it expanded, the upper class relying on lumber to build elaborate houses, and the wood trade supplementing the city's fur-based economy. And when the Reach began to industrialize in the 17th century, the entire Alenic region suddenly hungered for wood to fuel the burgeoning furnaces and proto-factories.
This was invaluable for Dinesck as it recovered from the Gawedi sack; the city hired out logging teams across the Alen, while devouring more and more of the nearby woods itself. Under the Northern League, Dinesck was instrumental in felling vast swathes of forest fill the Magnates' coffers. Though coal would ultimately supplant wood as the fuel of choice, Dinesckers would say with pride (and with some truth) that they had been the ones to conquer the Greatwoods, and bring its bounty to all the Reach.
