Either. I have always thought of *roj*/make peace/ to mean something
like *marojpu'*/we made peace (with each other)./ The word doesn't seem
like something you do to someone else. Therefore, the facilitator of our
making peace is a *rojmoHwI'.*
But if *roj*/make peace/ means to cause peace to come into existence,
without necessarily implying that you were the one not at peace before,
then *rojwI'* would work.
