If the clan has *any* intention of sending warriors outside of the tula (to raid, chase cattle thieves, whatever) then they will need a "warband wyter" that is distinct from the clan wyter. Unless they want to risk losing the clan in a cattle-raid gone bad, or suffer from the lack of a wyter on their raids.
