Greeting and salutations great thane,
I am proud to announce to you that the city known as sanctuary is prepared to offer a alliance with your great clan in the interest of both parties and i hope the aid we offer to you is acceptable.
The city offers the dwarven clan the following:
1.) Raw ore to be bought from your clan at the tentative price of 3 coins per pound.
2.) A immediate care package is being assembled consisting of beetle bellies,zurkwood, and purified water to be sent to you clan home as we speak to aid you in your time of need.
3.) The city also will be sending 8 soldiers to your clanhome to assisst in your defense. These men will be rotated every month and will aid in the escorting of the ore and other goods being traded between settlements.
4.) The city of sanctuary would also like to extend it's hand to the fair trade market with you and offer a trade between settlments. A representative of your clan will be allowed to live here in the city under our protection and sell your quality metal goods. There will more than likely be future contracts for your clan at a fair price such as gate construcment etc. the city will be only taxing 15% of the sale goods from your clan.
I hope this agreement is helpful and a alliance can be formed for many future generations.
