The home of House Dawnrose. Once the single towered Keep Cider Hall it has been expanded that now has another two towers along with a curtain wall. The current seat of the Lord Paramount of the Mander.

Lord Lester Merryweather arrives to Dawnrose Keep with some servants and his heiress Margeary after getting the letter from the lord of the Mander. He is also in a hurry, because he has plans to go to King's landing.

He is brought to newly renovated Solar. It had not been used in a very long time. Edmure is reading through a very old looking book. He doesn't see Lord Merryweather and Margeary enter.

Edmure looked up, "Oh yes sorry I was reading about my great Grandfather Lord Tallahar. Please there's no need to bow a few weeks ago I was only a Lord."

"You are now, though." Said the Pennylover as he rose to his feet with his daughter. He smiled "You desired to speak with me."

"Yes you said that. I wanted to know of what happened in the many years I was not."

"The bloody cultists tried to force me out of my keep. They killed my wife and I haven't seen my son for years. Not knowing if he is dead, or a turncoat, I disinherited him in favour of Margeary." He gestured to his daughter. "I made an alliance with Lord Androw Ashford and blocked half of the Roseroad. I taxed the crossing of the Mander in my lands and with that money fought them. I fortified my walls, ambushed the bastards and fought them off. Lord Androw helped me with his men and I helped him with my money. Margeary lead my castle defenses while I was out of the castle. We managed to live through, but casualties weren't small."

"What of help from the other lands. Did Dorne or the Far Reach ever send aid."

"I don't know about other parts of the Mander, but no one helped us." he said "But we didn't expect them to. The Far Reach had a situation as bad as ours, if not worse."

"Yes but I'd hoped the Maester might of helped now that there wielding swords." Edmure then looked at Lord Merryweather with his daughter, "I know you must find it difficult to take me as the Lord Paramount with my families past and myself being closer in age to your daughter then yourself."

"Youth doesn't necessarily bring stupidity and incompetence. Some of your ancestors gave the Mander a bad name, but if you work to fix it, I will help you with every ounce of force I possess." said Lester. Then he thought about Edmure's words "Are you married Lord Edmure?" Lester grinned

Edmure did not smile back but nodded, "Yes I recently married one of Lord Caswell's daughters. Lady Sarah. She is a year older then your Margeary."

"Heiress, I presume?" he asked, not moving his smile

"Na Sarah has a younger brother. A good boy I may see if he wishes to come and squire here. But onto the other reason I called you here Lord Merryweather."
