House Eketta
The Eketta Lands or Fief of Eketya, were one of the six great western principalities of old Arthedain.House Eketya ruled most of the lands surrounding the northern and northeastern shores of Lake Evendim and the northern part of the Evendim Hills. Ekettas roost throughout all branches of the Arthadan
military host, and not a few have achieved recognition as
elite armorers. One captain of the Feryth Aran is an Eketta
scion, as is the senior Roquen of the War Circle of the
Dagarim Aran. The family seat of House Eketta. Set on the eastern shore of
Nenuial, it has long been thought one of
the loveliest keeps in Arthedain. Bareketta
was completed in its final form in T.A. 407
and has had its fortifications rebuilt several
times over the years. Its most famous moment
came in 1309, during the Angmarean
invasion. The siege of Barekketa was led by
the Angûlion, the Witch-king's chief henchmen
in Angmar. He fought a duel at the
gateway of the keep with Eärwen, the
pregnant wife of the injured Aratar Camrin
Eketta. She summoned lightning from runes
built into the gate to blind the evil sorcerer
and struck him down with the sword
Spiritfire. The Angûlion used his magic to
flee from the scene and has never since
risked his person in combat with the forces
of Arthedain.
