Appearance and Character

Anders is a tall man, 6'1", who appears to be larger than he is. He is more prone to listen than to speak and he has a commanding presence, and while not loud or booming, has a way of speaking that commands the room to silence. Anders is quick minded and astute and discerning, and is slow to smile. He has a stern expression, though he is a kind man. He has a strong sense of patriotism and loyalty to those who have proven worthy of his trust, and will not forget oaths lightly. Surprisingly, Anders takes great interest in his children and their upbringing, and his only son Andrey is his pride and joy.

History

Anders was born in the year 396AC to Lord Andrey and Lady Elia Dalt. He had several other siblings that were born both before and after him, however Andrey was the only son who survived into adulthood. His father was a mostly absentee father, and Anders made use of this by running roughshod over his mother and maesters, learning only the basics of literacy and numeracy, and focusing more on the outdoor activities more suited to him. He was six feet tall by his fourteenth nameday, and his lean figure filled out as he picked up the two handed greatsword as his most formidable weapon. With his training came focus and diligence, and Anders found a certain discipline in himself and a quiet and determined drive. He returned to the maester, and while lacking still in certain areas, he began to study once more, though only in the history of Dorne and the art of warcraft and all that came with it, learning more of his region.

--------

Anders was betrothed and married to his wife, Lorna, a second cousin, when he was nineteen years old. Anders did not wish for this, having been long infatuated with the daughter of the castellan of Lemonwood, and already having an affair with her for over a year. Anders did not disagree with the match his father made though, already well aware that he, as heir to his house, would never be able to marry the woman of his affections. Anders' father made the match to ensure that the distant branches of the family would remain loyal. Small disputes had begun, and Lord Andrey also held a small, deepseated fear that if anything were to happen to Anders, being the only son, the name of Dalt would die out.

And so Anders kept his affair quiet, though it did not end until his son was born, and he married Lorna, a small and petite golden girl who was just as young as he. Anders and Lorna did not actually meet until their wedding day, and both agree afterward that it could have been worse. His new wife was strongwilled, as Anders himself, and many arguments could be heard behind closed doors in the first years of their marriage.

Marriage and Family

At age twenty, Lorna produced a son, mere days after Lord Andrey died from sepsis after taking an injury while hunting. Anders, now the new Lord of Lemonwood, named his heir Andrey after his grandsire, and set aside his mistress for good. Anders surprised most by stepping into the role exceedingly well, and his calm and quick mind soon came to the fore. His house prospered, and he and his wife, in time, learned at the very least to respect each other, and then to like each other. Love may be too strong a word, but their marriage has not been unhappy by any means. Together they produced three more children, all of them daughters, and Anders found a small modicum of happiness in having children and investing in their upbringing. He tried in his own way to reverse what he saw were his own fathers shortcomings. His son and his youngest daughter Loreza take more after him, while his daughters Leyla and Larra take after their mother, being more golden in coloring, with short tempers and quick tongues.

Events

House Dalt of Lemonwood stood with House Martell in the War of Stone and Sky, and amassed their forces at Godsgrace along with the Sunspear loyalists. Anders himself led his men, and alliances were made on the battlefield among a myriad of different leaders, chief among them with Lord Symon Toland.

Anders betrothed his eldest daughter Leyla to the second son of Symon Toland, Mors, of Ghost Hill. Their wedding was held at the beginning of 438AC, and was attended by the entire family.

Anders betrothed his second daughter Larra, to the son of Lord Arthur Dayne, Viserys, of High Hermitage. This betrothal was made around the same time as Leyla's, but the betrothal was lengthened due to Larra's young age. Before the wedding could take place, Lord Arthur Dayne passed away toward the end of 438AC. However, the new lord Viserys upheld the engagement, and the wedding went ahead as planned. The wedding of Toland and Dayne of High Hermitage was held at the beginning of 439AC, and was attended by the entire family.

Anders strongly believes in strengthening ties within Dorne, and has no interest in looking beyond the borders of his beloved region, despite receiving offers of marriage for his daughters from elsewhere. He has not made matches for his youngest daughter, nor his son and heir yet, as he is waiting to see where political advantages may lie in that regard.
