Brogendenstein also expects the overseers of the Svirfneblin people and the Grotto to act with caution in dealings with the forces of the Undercaverns, especially with regards to the dark City of Andunnor, and to never put signature agreeements and treaties, either written or spoken, which threatens the integrity of the combined people.

The overseers of the Great Grotto must offer fealty to the Thane or elected Regent of Brogendenstein on political matters regarding treaties and maneuverings within the Earthkin Alliance. Understanding that a lawful bearer fo the Thanedom shall act with aggregate in mind, and nae with greed in favour of any over another.

The Thane or elected Regent of Brogendenstein be also expected to act as a representative fo the Svirfneblin people of the Grotto's representatitive before the Earthkin Alliance in whichever form it might take, acting with their interests in mind with regards to their secrecy, even if this means making nae mention of them within a discussion at all.
