They may range from relatively mundane to dramatic with far-ranging consequences for your fort. Petitions are distinct from [[diplomat]]ic agreements with other [[civilization]]s, such as the tree-cutting quota with [[elves]], or peace treaties. |
Petitions may be delivered by a foreign petitioner meeting with your [[mayor]] at their [[office]], or they may be more abstract. In both cases, a blinking 'P' will appear on the game screen, indicating that one is pending and awaiting review by the player. It is not possible to consult the petitions screen if none are pending. When a petition announcement appears, the following icon will be shown:<br> | Petitions may be delivered by a foreign petitioner meeting with your [[mayor]] at their [[office]], or they may be more abstract.

*Petition for [[Long-term resident|long-term residency]] by a passing [[visitor]]; stating the purpose of their stay (entertainment, [[soldier]]ing, study, or slaying monsters) which you are free to accept or not. If you do, they will reside at your [[tavern]] and will not do any other labors than those they were intent on doing. [[Soldier]]ing visitors can be assigned to [[squad]]s, but they cannot be appointed as [[Militia captain]]s. | *Petition for [[Long-term resident|long-term residency]] by a passing [[visitor]]; stating the purpose of their stay (entertainment, [[soldier]]ing, study, or slaying monsters) which you are free to accept or not.

*Petition for parley by an invading [[army]]. This one is delivered abstractly (presumably at shouting distance). The army will camp at the edge of the map, waiting for your response (they will attack if ignored for too long). If you accept, a dwarf will be sent out for the parley, which will inevitably involve the surrender of an artifact that you failed to give to a [[quester]] previously. The parley is fair: the army will not betray you and attack anyway if you give in to their demand, and even if you do not, they will give the herald sufficient time to retreat back to your fortress before they attack. | *Petition for parley by an invading [[army]].

Currently, there is no way for the player to review petitions to which they have agreed (or denied), without the use of a third-party tool like DFHack's ''[https://docs.dfhack.org/en/stable/docs/_auto/base.html#list-agreements list-agreements]''. | Currently, there is no way for the player to review petitions to which they have agreed (or denied), without the use of a third-party tool like DFHack's ''[https://docs.dfhack.org/en/stable/docs/_auto/base.html#list-agreements list-agreements]''. |
