Lord Methilir Eketta
Young and rash, Methilir is both scholar and weaponmaster, he
consorted with the seers and mystics in Fornost while
building a fine reputation fighting on the frontier. His
keep, Bareketta, receives a year-round stream of guests,
and his wife, Elótiel, is a welcome presence at festivals
and tournaments throughout Arthedain.
Methilir's grandfather chose the time of his own death
twenty years ago, despairing over the continuing failure of
his schemes to drive back the Orcs of Angmar from the
eastern frontier. Methilir's father and two uncles had
already died in those wars, and the Hîr Eketta is now
convinced that success is impossible as long as Arveleg sits
on the throne. His divinations and common sense tell
Methilir he will not be King, but he does see himself as a
warlord, in charge of all the armies of the kingdom.
Almost seven feet tall, handsome and athletic, fairskinned
and more fair-haired than is usual for one of his
blood. Methilir is the image of a great lord of the
Dúnedain. He cultivates the part with gracious and droll
conversation as host and a pleasant, unruffled demeanor
tinder even the most harrowing conditions. His only
obvious character flaw is intense competitiveness; he plays
to win in any sport or game; when bested, he must often
visibly control his anger.
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. Both despise King Argeleb and will side
with Methilir in any dispute with the crown, Halmir,
Methilir's surviving uncle, is the commander of the
Tirrim Aran and reputably the finest swordsman in
Arnor; no one knows who he would back if Methilir's
more ambitious schemes come to fruition, and no one has
yet found the nerve to ask him.
1415 T.A.
Party and accessory to the treachory of Cardolan and Ruling Prince Araphor, Methilir and Halmir both betrayed Arnor and departed south for Cardolan to enlist in the naescent rebellion. Both were slain during a pitched battle near Bree on the retreat from Annúminas to Tyrn Gorthad. The Lordship of Eketta thus passed to his Sister-Son and NephewRelationships
