[@Liotrent] Then  you'll get to know Ridahne very well then. I'm thinking people across the mountains contact her (or someone who then passes it on to her, whichever) via message hawk/pidgeon/raven? That way she knows when to go out there and how to prepare. As long as Dunfender is not strongly allied with Fellmore, perhaps they and Azurei could have a sort of working relationship. Either as actual allies or as neutral but mutually beneficial entities.

Actually, considering dwarves are typically the crafty type (I assume yours are, yes?) They might have a decent relationship considering Azurei is known for its silver, and maybe some semi-precious stone like carnelian, or coastal finds like abalone or mother of pearl.
