Master Mikkelson,

Long has the Stoutheart Clan looked upon your growing business with hope that they would replace the Duergar who provided inferior craftsmanship at exorbitant prices. We have sampled the quality of your wares, and have found it far superior to the Duergar-made items they pass as arms and armor.

We would like to enter into a business opportunity between your operation and the Stoutheart Clan. In essence, we will take over the mining operation the Grunstubhles have abandoned, and you will be the primary craftsman of the items, arms and armor for the needs of Sanctuary.

Some of our Stouthearts have various levels of training in the smithing arts, and we would propose you take them on to augment your production to handle what will surely be an overwhelming contract by the people and Council of Sanctuary.

I have submitted a proposal to the Council and various organizations that are involved with the defense of Sanctuary. We believe that a union between your people and mine will be a profitable one for both of us, as well as increase the security and quality of goods of all the citizens of our settlement.

If you would like to meet with me concering this or other matters, please let me know and I would be happy to avail myself to your company at your earliest conveniance.
