Bar Eketya

The family seat of House Eketya. Set on the eastern shore of Nenuial, it had long been thought one of the loveliest keeps in Arthedain. Bar Eketya was completed in its final form in T.A. 407 and had its fortifications rebuilt several times over the years. Its most famous moment came in 1409, during the Angmarean invasion. The siege of Bar Eketya was led by the Angulion, the Witch-king's chief henchman in Angmar. He fought a duel at the gateway of the keep with Earwen, 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 Angulion used his magic to flee from the scene and had never since risked his person in combat with the forces of Arthedain
