aka: Beren Fellspear

Sir Artemis Entreri is the 18th Knight of Numenor. In 1993, Sir Artemis began fighting in Valdemar, the realm that would become Numenor. He was a Sergeant of the Sword in his earliest days.

He squired to Sir Baldrick in the spring of 1997 and was knighted at the Pre-Ragnarok Numenor practice in 1998 by Sir Kegg. From 1997-2000, Sir Artemis was one of the best traveled fighters in the game nationally – the first of many of the Knights of Numenor to make events from coast to coast, as well as many other realms' practices during this most active period of his career. It was during this period he served Numenor locally in the University student organization from 1997-2000, including two years as President. He developed the original Knights of Numenor website in 1997.

He has placed and won in numerous sword/board, spear, Mongolian wrestling, and dagger tournaments. He was an integral part of Numenor's battleline in the late 1990s that won numerous bridge, field, realm, and Unit battles. He was part of the 4v4 championship team at Ragnarok XIII (1998) with Arioch, Aragorn, and Algarve. Sir Artemis and Sir Baldrick won the first of three Realm Battles at Chaos Wars II (1998) as a duo against fearsome odds.

In 2007, Sir Artemis founded Rhovanion in Bloomington, Indiana and served as leader until he moved away in 2012. During this period, he proposed the original Belegarth New Realm Starter Kit (2008) modeled on his work forming Rhovanion. He also authored the Escalation scenario battle rules (2011).

He has fought as a member of Wolfpack (2000-2002), Rhovanion (2007-2012), Arnor (2022-present), and as a cross-gamer in several other sword-sports. He often wears Rhovanion’s green/white, and is also known in some circles as Beren Fellspear.

The name Artemis Entreri comes from the antagonist in the Dark Elf series written by R.A. Salvatore, and he is the fifth of the Knights of Numenor with a name from these books. He was named by Skimbal, Algarve, Bartender, and Sir Treethump after back-stabbing Sir Drizz't a number of times when Sir Artemis was a brand new fighter.

His heraldry was not as arbitrarily chosen as his name. The Eye of Sauron is the standard that Sir Baldrick used. Sir Artemis carries it in recognition of the time spent training under Sir Baldrick's watchful eye. The blue pile symbolizes an aggressive forward movement, charging into the thick of battle, symbolized by the blazing sun at the base of the shield. The sun reminds one of the heat, passion, and fervor of battle, as well as its power for both destruction and renewal.

Sir Artemis is semi-retired, but still fights in Arnor and Numenor with some regularity. Since 2026, he serves as the Editor of the Tome of Numenor, the internal history of the Knights of Numenor, originally authored by Sir Cyric of Minas-Sarnas.
