It is the home of the Grey Wardens\u2019<br>headquarters, Weisshaupt Fortress, and is the one nation in<br>which the Wardens retain an important political influence.<br>No region of Thedas has paid a higher price for defeating the<br>Blights. The Anderfels, once a part of the Tevinter Imperium,<br>was the center of three of them and its steppes have still not<br>recovered. The Blights poisoned the land to such an extent<br>that they are utterly devoid of life. Even with the defeat of the<br>old Blights, however, the Ander people could not rest easy.<br>Darkspawn raids have been common there since the Divine<br>Age. This has made the Anderfels a nation of survivors. You<br>must be tough to see your adult years there. A surprising<br>number of Anders choose to remain in this harsh environment<br>but those who decamp for other parts of Thedas are<br>quite capable of taking care of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Playing an Ander Survivor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you choose to play an Ander survivor, modify your character<br>as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add 1 to your Constitution ability. Anders must be tough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pick one of the following ability focuses: Constitution<br>(Stamina) or Strength (Climbing).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can speak and read Ander and the Trade Tongue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose a class. You can play either a rogue or a warrior.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roll twice on the Ander Survivor table for additional benefits.<br>Roll 2d6 and add the dice together. If you get the same<br>result twice, re-roll until you get something different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-border-color has-neve-link-hover-color-border-color has-fixed-layout\" style=\"border-width:1px\"><thead><tr><th>2d6 Roll<\/th><th>Benefit<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>2<\/td><td>+1 Dexterity<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3-4<\/td><td><strong>Focus:<\/strong> Constitution (Running)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5<\/td><td><strong>Focus:<\/strong> Cunning (Historical Lore)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6<\/td><td><strong>Focus:<\/strong> Perception (Tracking)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>7-8<\/td><td>+1 Strength<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>9<\/td><td><strong>Focus:<\/strong> Dexterity (Brawling)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>10-11<\/td><td><strong>Focus:<\/strong> Willpower (Courage)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>12<\/td><td>+1 Perception<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Anderfels is a nation in the northwest of Thedas, distant and remote from Ferelden.
