The Dwarves of the Far Hills 

 

The Agreement between Helmshold and the Dwarves of the Far Hills

 

A Deal was struck between Torin and Venbrall Silverfist (Clan Hammerhall's primary dwarf in charge of dealing with those of the outside world), with the blessings of the clan leaders, that they will send dwarves to help in the construction of Helmshold and Torin promised protection for the dwarves to bring their goods to market - at least to the north crossing of the River Chionthar, just south of the Sunset Mountains.  They also agreed to pay 3000gp per year for this protection. (And it must be SERIOUS PROTECTION).

 

Hluthvar 

 

No solid arrangements with Hluthvar have been made other than the promise Torin made to send aid as soon as possible and the assurance by both parties to work together for the protection of Sunset Vale from the Dangers of Darkhold. Torin has pledged on his word that he will do everything in his power to relieve Hluthvar and make Darkhold reconsider its choice of having open season on the military of Hluthvar, particularly the warriors of Helm. Torin and Maurandyr have briefly discussed how they can join forces to control the main road between Asbravn and Hluthvar (Possibly setting up small fortified way stops, etc.)

 

Asbravn 

 

The Agreement between Asbravn and Helmshold

Changes to the laws which affect Helmshold, The Altar of the Vigilant Warden, or the organization, deployment and leadership of its troops, MUST be approved by the Leadership of Helmshold.

3. It is agreed by both parties that Lord Watcher Torin Hawkwing and Helmshold's Military and Religious Leaders (Except those lawfully appointed to be on the council acting in accordance with the laws of Asbravn) will have no specific authority over matters of democratic politics, trade, and the general running and management of the town, Asbravn - which shall be the purvue of the Town Council (As long as they stay within the laws as agreed upon in point 1 above), and that they will keep their interests concerned with protecing and policing the community, farms and tradeways in and around Asbravn.
