|
Meridas and Gavilar were extremely close friends. It seems likely that their friendship is based upon their mutual desire to return the Vorin Church to dominance and the Heralds to Roshar.{{book ref|sa2|88}} Even though they were friends, Amaram acted still slightly subordinate to Gavilar, slouching in Gavilar's presence even though Amaram is the taller man.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} It is unknown how Amaram reacted to Gavilar's death, but even years later Meridas's thoughts turn to Gavilar when working to achieve the goals of the Sons of Honor.{{book ref|sa2|88}}{{book ref|sa2|64}} For his part, Gavilar thought so highly of Amaram that he tried to arrange a marriage between his daughter Jasnah and Amaram, even though she had expressed disinterest in the union.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}}
'''Jasnah'''
[[File:Jasnah vs Amaram.jpg|thumb|right|<center><small>by [[Coppermind:Artists/Jules Aguimatang|Jules Aguimatang]]</small></center> Amaram arguing with [[Jasnah]] in [[Urithiru]] ]]
Shortly before his death, Gavilar tried to set up his daughter with Amaram, and though Amaram expressed interest, [[Jasnah]] was steadfastedly opposed to the union.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} Between Gavilar's assassination and Jasnah's apparent death aboard ''[[Wind's Pleasure]]'', the relation between them appears to have soured dramatically. When they meet again in [[Urithiru]], Jasnah reacts to Amaram with utter venom.{{book ref|sa3|53}} While he does initially attempt to bury the hatchet, he does so out of political needs, believing that Jasnah controls Dalinar. When it becomes apparent that there will be no peace, the two insult each other in increasingly personal way -- which Jasnah later regrets -- before Amaram storms off.{{book ref|sa3|53}}
'''Adolin'''
Dalinar's heir Adolin and Amaram are on friendly terms, sometimes chatting casually at various events and meetings.{{book ref|sa2|37}} Amaram feels comfortable with Adolin, occasionally giving him small pieces of advice to him, such as advising him to find a wife and settle down. Adolin considers Amaram to be the perfect lighteyed general. However, he has always thought that Amaram seemed too perfect to not be hiding something.{{book ref|sa2|66}} As a result, when Kaladin challenges Amaram to a duel over past wrongs, Adolin believes Kaladin's account and puts himself in prison as well in solidarity with Kaladin.
Following the revelations of Amaram's true nature, Adolin's opinion of him changes drastically. By the time they meet again in [[Urithiru]], he has no compunctions against calling him a bastard to his face.{{book ref|sa3|27}}
