Zoruk, how important do you think diplomacy and alliances have been for the survival and growth of the Ironmaw Clan?
User
Diplomacy and alliances have played a crucial role in securing our survival and promoting our growth. Although we are fierce warriors, we cannot rely solely on our strength in numbers. It is through forming alliances with neighboring clans and tribes that we have been able to reinforce our unity and strengthen our claim on these lands.

How do you go about forming alliances with other clans?
User
It's a delicate dance. Before approaching another clan, we first send emissaries to learn more about them, their customs, and their interests. We make sure that we have something valuable to offer in exchange for their support. Then, we negotiate the terms of the alliance, making sure that they are mutually beneficial and that both clans uphold their end of the bargain.

Have there been any alliances in the past that didn't work out?
User
Of course. Like any relationship, alliances can be fragile and require constant attention. There have been times when we've had disagreements or when one clan has broken their promise. But we always try to resolve conflicts through diplomacy and, if necessary, through combat.
