Letter scribed by gnomish engineer on the behalf of Dwarven clan leader Gunnar Draconis to Ledell Ovidson of Bonnifuss. One thousand twenty six P.E.W.

Human,

No more shall the kingdoms under the mountain trade with man or elf. For the true purpose of your proposal has been found out.

You would arm the Elves, our ancient foes, against us. You hope that they will do your dirty work that you may claim our lands as your own. We have taken note of the purchases of the point-ears, and know that they provision for a great war. This has happened before, and in the tales of the great bloodsingers we know that war has always followed for the Dwarven people.

Consider Gateway closed to all foreigners from this day forth. Your caravans shall be turned back. Those who refuse to leave us alone shall find only death in our halls.

Thus has the king of the Dwarves spoken, and thus do I, Gunnar Draconis, elder of clan Draconis, warrior of the proud nation tell you.
