Aleaume Gwantir, 29, is the family herald and a cousin of Brenoir. Unlike most of his kinsmen, he is opposed to the feud, believing it to be folly and a waste of lives and energy. While he is loyal to his clansmen, he has established diplomatic contacts to the Ceselryds via the College of Heralds. He is the only clan member who can safely travel into Chybisa as his status gives him some sort of immunity. Having met Hrothgeir Ceselryd several times, he hopes that maintaining this contact will eventually enable him to initiate negotiations between the two clans to abandon the feud. He is aware though, that the hostilities are more likely to increase as long as Brenoir is the clanhead.
