While the marriage between a human and a Loxodon was considered unusual by most of Omnia, it was only taken as a threat by Galamaed. Marianne had been betrothed to the Galamaen noble Garen Arganor since they were both children.

This is more widely considered, as her library in the Hillfort contained a number of his works including a pamphlet on the Trunkjob.
