Vestniki serve as the eyes and ears of the Matriarchate of Periaslavl. Spies, diplomats, traders, advisors, they are these and more. The curernt leader of the vestniki is Aleksander Dmitrovich.

In the early 1200s, Great Mother Lyudmilya Sergeiovna realized that as Periaslavl) grew and came into contact with neighboring realms, it would need alternatives to pure military units such as the pomestniki. She started using her heralds, who were already experienced with rough travel in dangerous and wild areas, for more delicate tasks. Later Great Mothers increased their training and role, and they became the force they are now.

In the 1600s, Uliana Kuznetsovna, leader of the vestniki, became enamored of the Euskalerrian martial art called borrokakital. She saw in it a tool for smaller people, such as herself, to gain an advantage when they had to fight.

The vestniki, having began as heralds and diplomats, almost immediately developed an aversion to killing. One of their mottos is: "If we kill, we fail." Borrokakital caught on quickly with other vestniki for it allowed more options to disable a foe without slaying them outright. It is now taught to all vestniki and, ironically, they are Eard's foremost practitioners of the art.

However, it must be remembered that vestniki are given challenging tasks, and while they try to avoid killing, if they must, they will.

For a variety of reasons, pomestniki and vestniki do not get along well. Though they work together when needed, their roles and methods are so different that a rivalry was almost inevitable.
