Dwarven diplomats are typically only encountered in Fortress mode - they do not visit your fortress, nor can you appoint one yourself. Instead, your own dwarven civilization sends an [[outpost liaison]] to negotiate trade agreements with your fortress (assuming your fortress is not the mountainhome).

Other dwarven civilizations, on the other hand, may send diplomats once you have [[DF2014:Civilization|contacted]] them with your own diplomats, behaving similarly to human diplomats.

However, dwarven diplomats may occasionally become citizens of your fortress, both by immigration (e.g. as [[King consort|consort]] to an arriving [[monarch]]) and royal (not player-controlled) appointment. Citizen diplomats currently do not conduct meetings or otherwise perform diplomacy, though they do have room requirements equivalent to an outpost liaison and may issue [[demand]]s.

Once your baron has been appointed, the neighboring [[Elf|elven]] civilization will attempt to make ''first contact'' - at the very beginning of the year, their diplomat will appear ''unannounced'' at the edge of your map and immediately attempt to meet with your new leader. If you have cut down any [[tree]]s, you will be scolded and given a stern warning - {{dftext|You have disrespected the trees in this area, but this is what we have come to expect from your stunted kind. Further abuse cannot be tolerated. Let this be a warning to you.|2:1}} - otherwise you will be congratulated for your kindness to the environment: {{dftext|What a pleasant surprise! Not a single tree here weeps from the abuses with such ease by your people. Joy! The dwarves have turned a page, not that we would make paper. A travesty! Perhaps it is better to say that dwarves have turned over a new leaf, and the springtime for our two races has just begun.|2:1}}

During subsequent visits (which will happen within a few weeks of the arrival of their caravan), elven diplomats will ask you to limit your tree-cutting to a varying amount of trees depending on the [[Surroundings|surroundings]] of your fortress. If you agree to this concession, the civilization {{k|c}} screen will track the number of [[Wood cutter|Fell Tree]] jobs you complete during the year, shown as (remaining allowed cuts)/(total allowed cuts). Both above-ground and, currently, subterranean trees are counted. They will then share with you news of the world like an outpost liaison would. The agreement (and the count) remain in effect until the next year's agreement is negotiated. If you stay within this limit, the bond between your civilizations will be strengthened; violating it will strain diplomatic relations and potentially lead to attacks.

The negotiated number of tree-fells in the quota may be altered by other factors, including your noble's [[Room#Quality|office quality]], happiness, and social skills. Maximizing each of these can allow your noble to talk the elves into letting you cut down a few extra trees each year.
