Through the means of Freed Bay Post's postal services. A public announcement from Ríoch Geród of Tiranóg, who has emerged badly injured but alive from the Des Accour Borehole.
The Alliance is under attack from foreign Dwarves that are literally undermining the Alliance! In an attempt to find an escape tunnel from the Duchal Palace, Geród and his forces uncovered what they had at first determined to be an escape tunnel built to escape sieges but was, in fact, yet another borehole leading to the Underdark under an Alliance capital.
By the time they had realized this it was too late to turn back, and so had to suffer weeks lost in the Underdark, where they encountered a foreign Dwarvern Army patrolling the Underdark utilising clan markings not familiar to any of Alliance holds, whose armours bore Demonic facemasks rather than ancestor faces, and who used fantastic weaponry such as repeating rifles, and liquid-fire spouting weapons that can set columns of men on fire. In addition they were in possession of ironclad ships in the underseas. They had used these to decimate their forces and capture the rest. Geród managed to escape after what he could only assume was intervention by some unknown Goblins, who had apparently also destroyed one of their ironclad ships, which is perhaps what stalled them long enough to allow Geród to escape.
The Enemy Dwarves made encampment not far from the Des Accour Borehole, which was why he could so easily return to the surface after escaping their camp.
A more detailed recounting of events will likely be distributed amongst the diplomatic circles in time.
