Artemidorus's Knight, the Unbowed

Artemidorus is a Knight of House Terryn. Baron Artemidorus was chosen by High King Tybalt to join his Exalted Court, and named in long ritual as the Herald, which in House Terryn also carries the titles of the All-hailer and Executor of Orders. The paired stripes upon his Knight Crusader’s carapace mark Artemidorus as a Baron, while his further elevated rank can be discerned from the cream-coloured crenelated line atop his tilting plate – the honourable symbol borne only by the Herald.[1]

In House Terryn a Herald’s duties are plentiful, but mercifully streamlined upon the battlefield. The Herald ensures the fanfare – trumpet-blasts blared through his vox-grilles – befits each Knight who enters the battlefield. It is the Herald’s role to issue first warning of enemy attacks, and the ion shields of the entire Exalted Court pivot upon his alerts. Finally, from a central position, he also relays vox orders and lays down supporting firepower.[1]
