I have my doubts about Aram invading Yhilin, it may well just be sword rattling because they feel threatened and the actual war goes toward the elves (keep in mind it's heavily implied we'll be returning there) The elves are "weakened", or at least might seem so, by the attack of the Incubus Emperor and they'd be easier to invade than Yhilin (especially since they have almost no recent intel so they'd be fighting a largely unknown opponent) Regardless, it seems pretty likely we'll be using Eustrin as a back door into Aram, and your success at the dwarven diplomacy will play a big part in that.

I still feel letting the diplomats handle that one is the best choice, it's strongly implied Aram has basically turned Eustrin into a prison state and is likely watching communication going in and out, while negotiating direct contact would be ideal I just don't see it getting past Aram control, same with sending a letter back. Actual diplomats showing up at their doorstep are going to get a lot more actual information regardless of if they're successful or not, especially if you've established the dwarven embassy in Ardoheim which is another point of reference for your own embassadors.
