An outpost liaison is a diplomat sent by the Mountainhomes. They arrive together with the dwarven caravan sometime during the autumn, escorted by an axedwarf.

The outpost liaison will offer to let you order specific goods from the Mountainhomes that will be sent with the caravan the next autumn. They will only talk with your expedition leader; if your leader is dead, then you must assign a new one before the liaison arrives or he will leave without a meeting.

To conduct a meeting with the liaison, your expedition leader must be available. If he is busy, the liaison will remain in the fortress for a long time and can become insane. To avoid this, after trading with the caravan, uncheck any job assignment the expedition leader has, and he will become available to do the meeting.
