[this letter is delivered to the New Dunwarren gate, addressed to Anver:]

Anver,

This is the proposal in full, as we discussed. I strongly believe it is for the best of both settlements. Moreover, it build a foundation of cooperation between our settlements.

Eagerly awaiting your reply, and that of Lem's.

The Inter-Settlement Defense Accord

This Accord acknowledges that a coordinated defense with cooperation from both parties is the best defense. Therefore, the purpose of this Accord is to bind both New Dunwarren and the city of Sanctuary together in times of military emergencies.

These are the following clauses of the Accord:

- That New Dunwarren recognizes that the Watch defends them by proxy and is willing therefore to fairly contribute both personnel and a weekly stipend to it toward the purposes of mutual defense.

- That, in times of military emergencies, New Dunwarren shall send significant forces to the aid of the Watch but that:

- At no time shall New Dunwarren be required to entirely denude its own defenses of personnel.

- That the New Dunwarren governing body pays a weekly stipend of at least 1000 coins to help the city of Sanctuary maintain the gates and walls and ensure that they are manned.

- That the New Dunwarren force commander follows the orders of the Watch unless they are deemed by him to be entirely immoral or endangering of his own settlement.

This is a mutually beneficial Accord that will form the foundation of cooperation that both settlments must lay if we are to survive our true enemies without.
