To the esteemed lady Dís, and the Dwarves of the Blue Mountains:

We send you greetings from Thorin II Oakenshield, King Under the Mountain. We are pleased to inform you that the Dragon Smaug has been defeated and Erebor reclaimed. Furthermore, the Arkenstone was discovered by the esteemed Burglar, Mister Bilbo Baggins of Bag End in the Shire, and it has been restored to its rightful place above the throne of the King of Durin's folk. The Raven Crown sits upon the head of Thorin King, and at his right hand stands Fíli, Crown Prince of Erebor and heir apparent.

The Company of Thorin Oakenshield remains intact through many trials and adventures, including the terrible Battle of Five Armies before the gates of Erebor. Though the orc forces of Moria and Gundabad attempted to overtake the mountain, the alliance of the Dwarves of the Company and the army of the honored and respected Lord Dáin of the Iron Hills, together with the Elves of Mirkwood and the Men of Lake-town, pushed them back. Also present on our side were the great Eagles and the skin-changer Beorn. Many honorable Dwarves, Men, and Elves fell, and their sacrifices will be forever honored by our people.

We invite all Dwarves of the Blue Mountains to make home with us here in our homeland as soon as you are able. There is room for all in these grand halls, and we will gladly welcome all who wish to join us and those of the Iron Hills who helped us generously in battle and wish to stay in our domain.

May your beards grow ever longer, and may your travels be safe and speedy.

Wishing you all the best,

Fíli and Kíli

Crown Prince and Prince of Erebor
