Hello!

2008-06-30T21:39:45Z

hello fellow readers! I'm new to this community so I wanted to say hello and ask a couple questions.

anyone hear anything about another book comeing out about Entreri? I didn't really like the ending and it left me kind of confused. does he start dateing Dwahvel? do we never hear of him again? does he group up with Jarlaxle again? I don't understand why R.A. would end the book like this unless he had plans for another book so...I don't know I would hate for The Sellswords to end on this book.

what do you guys think about all this?

It's my first post here, but I wanted to share my Artemis Entreri picture with you.

I hope you like it!

BEHOLD!

"-Will Drizzt ever learn anything about Entreri's past? - Lady Fellshot

Lady Fellshot: I do expect that Entreri and Drizzt will meet again, or at least, that someone in common will reveal to one or the other the news of the other. It is very possible that Drizzt will learn much more about Entreri as time goes on." http://rasalvatoreforums.yuku.com/forum/getrefs/id/83870/type/0

Artemis in other fandoms

So, as there seems to be some people in here, I'll go ahead with another thread.

(there are spoilers for the Black Company and the Liveship Traders, so be warned)

I'm reading the Black Company at the moment, and there's this character named Raven who's a tough deadly guy and immediately made me think of Artemis. He can make knives appear in his hands as if by magic, he is very evasive about his past, seems to have major emotional issues and also has the death glare. The only time he showed some compassion was when he risked his life to rescue a young girl being raped.

In the Liveship Traders, there's a pirate named Kennit who struck me as a screwed-up Artemis. He is very ambitious and distrustful to the point of paranoia, also with big emotional issues due to a traumatic childhood very similar to Artemis's. He wants everybody to fear him and is very particular about his looks, his hygiene, and the image others can have of him, so everything he says or does is perfectly controlled.

It's hard to describe in a few words, but these two characters gave me a strong Artemis feeling while reading those books.

So, if you have read them, what is your opinion? Or if you haven't, are there other characters that remind you of Artemis?

Artemis's child ??

2008-02-21T19:48:22Z

I was wondering why on earth would Kimmuriel want to abduct Calihye, and the only answer I found was that he knew she was pregnant with Artemis's child. This idea doesn't please me for several reasons:

First, I don't want to see any vanilla stuff involving Artemis. I don't want to see him as a father, like "I want to be a good person for my child, but if you mess with him then I'll show you true evil" kind of stuff. One Drizzt is enough. I like Artemis in the grey area; I don't want him to become good because that would be plain boring.

Second, I think the child would be a major case for a Mary Sue. And I know he will be. If it was a girl, she would inherit her mother's beauty which would have been, if not for the scar, the most beautiful woman Artemis has ever seen. She/He would have a horrible childhood among the drow, but having inherited his father's skills and strong will, she/he would be able to beat the crap out of any drow and to resist Kimmuriel's psionic powers. And eventually she/he would escape and be reunited with his unsuspecting father who would scream bloody vengeance, they would both team up and set Mezzoberranzan on fire...

Anyway, what do you think? How do you feel about Artemis having a child of his own? Do you see any other reason why Kimmuriel would need Calihye?

Dear fellow Fan(girl)s,

since 1sentence is being lazy and not adding my claim, I figured I might just post it here.
In short: 50 themes, one sentence each, about Jarlaxle and Artemis (~~Entreri-samaaaa ♥♥♥~~), scrambled into some sort of order. Well... maybe someone is reading this comm after all ^^;;

The challenge

Pairing: Jarlaxle/Entreri *Entreri-muse smites Nari for uke presumption* Fine, fine. Entreri/Jarlaxle.

Theme set: Alpha (1sentence )

Rating: R-ey for the inavoidable bloodshed - uhm, we're talking drow and assassins here?

Warning: A spoiler or two.

More warnings: Blood. Murder. Villain fangirling. Evilness. More blood and murder. Implied slash, le gasp. Dashes and semicolon abuse due to the one-sentence rule. Terry Pratchett influence (especially #7 & #13). One footnote. One bad word. Two mercenaries.

Unnecessary Explanation no one cares about: drow = dark elves = evil. Except The Drizzit, er, Drizzt, goody-goody ranger and Entreri’s ~~unrequited love~~ bane of existence. Jarlaxle is the stylish and calculating leader of Bregan D’aerthe, a drow mercenary band (nooo, not music-related) who has employed Entreri to act as human front for the drow operations. When there was an uprising in Bregan D’aerthe, Entreri saved Jarlaxle’s ~~hot~~ sorry ass, and they have ~~slept~~ travelled together since. Of course, the story is a lot more complicated than that... and boy am I proud to have summarised it that short ^_^
And oh, right. Entreri... *fangirl* Entreri-samaaaaaaa!!!! Entreri is awesome. Period.

Additional note: The sentences turned out kinda connected, after I was done, so it’s shuffled for continuity. But it’s really 50!

Dedication: Myo-chan, who won the “guess-Nari’s-shiny” competition at the first try.

#45 – Hell
If Jarlaxle and Entreri had a song, it would go: We’re on the Hi~ghway to Hell!!!

#36 - Market
Even at the busiest market in Calimport, the crowd will always part for Artemis Entreri, Guildmaster, infamous assassin (and the drows’ preferred torture victim, if not for Jarlaxle’s orders).

#04 - Pain
Entreri is your classic Emo-Assassin, except he is professional enough to hide his pain, and not in the Oh-LOOK-how-I-mask-my-suffering-to-protect-my-tender-soul way.

#09 – Telephone
“...”  Artemis Entreri on the phone

#11 - Name
No one so far has been suicidal enough to ask Entreri: “Isn’t Artemis a girl’s name?”

#21 – Life
He’d taken so many lives already – one more or less wouldn't matter anymore.

#44 - Heaven
Entreri agreed with the drow on one thing: Heaven would be dead boring, anyway.

#16 - Weakness
Emotions not only bring weakness – they multiply, and the more emotions you allow, the more will sneak in; right now, Entreri is losing this fight.

#34 - Lightning/Thunder
Entreri is also a closet show-off; that tossing of his cloak just in time to be ominously illuminated by lightning is a bit over-the-top even for Jarlaxle’s measures.

#05 – Potatoes
After discovering the yummyness of roasted potatoes, Jarlaxle consumed almost a cellar-full of them – or so said Artemis, shaking his head in exasperation.

#41 - Completion
It was funny, Entreri thought, how one learns little things when living with someone – he knew now, for instance, if not the order in which Jarlaxle put his heaps of jewellery on, then at least that he always donned his hat last, as a crowning completion of the eye-irritating outfit.

#49 - Hair
Their daily shaving – Artemis’ beard, Jarlaxle’s hair – became somewhat of a morning ritual.

#26 - Forever
Jarlaxle had thought they would be friends forever – but the Underdark knows no eternity, no dreams – only death.

#31 - Home
To both of them, home is but a foreign notion.

#37 – Technology
Magic things are shi~ny! ♥ ♥ ♥ (Anime!Jarlaxle)

#08 - Happiness
Jarlaxle acts happy, while being almost as far from happiness as Entreri is – yet, if you act something long enough, you might just start believe in it.

#14 – Sex (I just HAD to.)
Jarlaxle felt just a tad voyeuristic watching them – Drizzt Do’Urden and Artemis Entreri fought with violence and passion that made one wonder: when would they finally face the truth, throw the weapons aside and engage in violent, passionate SEX?

#28 - Sickness
In spite of their insecure situation, chased by mutinous Bregan D’aerthe drow, wounded, Entreri still manages to sleep, too worn out to be alarmed over the tingle caused by Jarlaxle’s healing spell –it’s just that he’s tired, really, he doesn’t trust...yawn... that drow... at all.........snore.

#02 – Kiss
It is a lucky thing indeed that drow need only few hours of sleep – otherwise one colour-abusing dark elf might have suffered from lack of it; many hours did he lie awake, as his will to live fought the impulse to steal a kiss from his lightly-sleeping companion.

#39 – Smile
Entreri never smiles – he smirks, at most, once a year, and it makes Jarlaxle wonder what his face looks like with a smile.

#03 – Soft
The public obsession with petal-softness is overrated, thought a daydreaming Jarlaxle, imagining the scratching feel of wind-roughened lips on his skin...

#24 – Taste
Jarlaxle values his life above one brief taste of bliss.

#13 - Death
They encounter death, mostly by causing it, so often, that it recently started to say HELLO.

#32 - Confusion
Entreri’s eyes went saucer-wide when Jarlaxle quoted him by saying “maybe I hate drow more than I hate humans”, and his thoughts ran amok: But... but.... how can he know I said that, it’s quite a long sentence, that’s no coincidence, no way, but how, HOW can he know, unless he knew my whole plan, which would mean he never really was in trouble, and the whole uprising was a fake, but it wasn’t, they really tried to kill us, or maybe it started out as a fake and thenRai-gydecidedit’snotabadideaatalltocontroldaertheandthatswherethedragoncameinand.......what the... JARLAXLE!!!

#19 – Wind
Entreri watched in amusement as Jarlaxle ran after his hat, stolen by the wind, cursing creatively.

#46 - Sun
Jarlaxle prefers sunsets to Drizzt’s sunrises: he likes the sun, yet it’s only at sunset that he can look at it directly without being afraid to watch too long and become blind, because it wanes slowly, majestically, into a kind night dotted with sparkling stars.

#43 - Sky
Drow normally get dizzy, looking at the sky, too used to cavern ceilings, afraid it might swallow them up – not so Jarlaxle.

#42 – Clouds
Jarlaxle thought the fascinating shapes of those cloud things would also interest Artemis if he pointed them out often enough – he was wrong.

#06 - Rain
Entreri wore a smug expression for a whole week after Jarlaxle got that disgusting nose-running cold because of hopping around excitedly in the rain.

#01 - Comfort
    Hurt/comfort situations are generally viewed as romantic; Jarlaxle doesn’t think so, not anymore, not after that nightmare of Artemis’, not after seeing the proud assassin cry, fucking cry in his arms – it had been horrifying, pure and simple, and acting like it never happened in the morning, thus leading Entreri to believe the whole breakdown was part of the nightmare, was the least – the only, really – thing he could do.

#40 – Innocence
“Oh, Artemis... something is decidedly wrong with you, if I, a drow, am capable of an innocent expression that does NOT creep people out – or make them laugh, in my case.”

#17 - Tears
Jarlaxle considers tears in his clothes a worse affront than actual injury, so he mercilessly incinerates the guilty orcs in a fireball.

#27 - Blood
“I only wear leather because it’s easy to wipe the blood off it”, Entreri patiently explained to the audience after every suggestive leather-related comment the insufferable drow made.

#33 - Fear
In the dracolich’s lair, Entreri had actually felt fear, however, it did not compare to the almost-panic, when the beast breathed acid at him – breathed! Undead shouldn’t breathe, much less acid, this is just... against the rules!

#10 – Ears
Somewhere between the lines of the Sellswords Trilogy, Entreri probably wondered what would have happened if, at some point, he’d have simply grabbed Jarlaxle by his pointy ears and dragged him away from all that trouble.

#12 - Sensual
There is always an underlying sensuality in Artemis’ deadly sword-dance – yet to pause to admire it is to die.

#07 – Chocolate
Artemis Entreri used to really, really like chocolate – until suffering through a day with Jarlaxle on a sugar high*.
    *Pratchett-esque footnote: Jarlaxle tends to act as if on a massive sugar high even without sugar, go figure.

#25 – Devotion
“A~rtemis,” Jarlaxle spoke up in the middle of reading a saucy romance novel, encountering new vocabulary, “What does this word mean, devotion, as in ‘she looked up at him, bosom quivering with devotion’?” Entreri twitched, contemplated suicide and settled for shrugging.

#29 – Melody
“Amazing,” remarked Jarlaxle, watching Entreri play, “this could almost be a melody!” and received a glare – more out of habit than any real resentment – or so he hoped.

#23 – Hands
At first, the whole deal with the flute was fun, until Entreri started practising and the way his fingers danced across the wooden instrument and oh merciless Lloth and her pincers, those fine lips wrapping around – Jarlaxle almost ran out of the room, flustered and frustrated, under the pretence of saving his bleeding eardrums.

#35 – Bonds
There was always this weak point in Jarlaxle’s bondage-fantasy related scheming – eventually, Entreri will get out of those shackles, and then he would be soooooo dead

#15 – Touch
Entreri always exudes this Touch-me-and-Die attitude; Jarlaxle is secretly wishing and waiting for the day he’ll drop the “die” part.

#30 – Star
Yuletide at the Vaasaan Gate: Jarlaxle stalks in with a star-decorated cape and a jolly ho-ho-ho, greeted by the other patrons’ uproarious laughter, while Entreri covers his face with his hands and murmurs: “No, I don’t know him...”

#22 – Jealousy
Jarlaxle’s well-hidden urge to rip that half-elf to pieces for every single look Entreri shared with her had to be the result of violence-inclined drow genetics, and certainly not jealousy.

#18 - Speed
They rode at neck-break speed through the city, miraculously avoiding fatal accidents and they even got out – now, all was left was to get away from that army of pursuers.

#38 – Gift
“Here,” Entreri grumbles, shoving an ordinary steel dagger at Jarlaxle, “for the next time we end up in a magic-dead zone.”- and the drow grins widely, recognising concern when he sees it.

#20 – Freedom
Flying was great, creating almost an illusion of freedom – that is, until you remembered you were sitting on a dragon.

#47 – Moon
The temple walls looked even whiter in the moonlight, their false purity reawakening a deep rage in Entreri’s heart – yet he drew some consolation from the blood, partly his own, drying on his sword.

#48 - Waves
The surf lapped gently at the shore, swirling around their naked feet, dark and pale, intimately close under unjudging starlight.

#50 – Supernova
The dragon’s breath follows them like an orange, glowing tsunami, as they run towards the next adventure.

Feedback is ~~FORCEFULLY DEMANDED, ON PAINFUL PAIN OF DEEEEEAAAAATH!!!!!~~ encouraged and appreciated, even the "You suck!!111" - I like it when people agree with me ;-).

Artemis's Ability to Read & Write

2007-11-28T05:09:26Z

I was rereading bits of Servant of the Shard the other day, & came upon the letter Art wrote to Dwahvel. She seems surprised that he knows how to read & write. We also learn that he has nice handwriting. So when did he learn to read & write? I think we can rule out his childhood. I very much doubt, given the nature of its corrupt priests, that the temple of Selune had any sort of public education programs.

It seems most likely that he must've been taught after being taken in by the Basadoni guild. What do you all think?

Hello, all!

I've commented a few times in this community, but I realized I've not introduced myself. I've been a fan of Artemis for about 2 yrs now, but I've only lurked until now. I was thrilled to find this community. Thank you yoski for creating it!

Assassin's Creed

2007-05-24T03:36:57Z

Ladies and Gentlemen... I present you what I think is the most incredible resemblance to how our Artemis Entreri would fight... Meet Altair.

Assassin's Creed is a video game currently in development by Ubisoft Montreal. The game takes place during the Third Crusade, in the year 1191. The gamer plays as a member of the assassin sect Hashshashin known as Altaïr (الطائر, Arabic, "The flying" eagle), whose objective is to assassinate the nine historical figures who are propagating the Crusades, and the suffering of the people. As the gamer finds and kills these targets, their conspiracy is unveiled. The player will be able to travel through three cities, Jerusalem, Acre, and Damascus.

God knows youre lonely souls
God knows youre lonely souls
God knows youre lonely souls
Yeah, yeah

I believe theres a time and a place
To let your mind drift and get out of this place
I believe theres a day and a place
That we will go to, and I know you wanna share.

Theres no secret to living (theres no secret to living)
Just keep on walking
Theres no secret to dying (theres no secret to dying)
Just keep on flying.

Im gonna die in a place that dont know my name
Im gonna die in a space that dont hold my fame.

God knows youre lonely souls
God knows youre lonely souls.

I believe theres a time when the cord of life
Should be cut, my friends (cut the cord, my friend)
I believe theres a time when the cord can be cut
And this vision ends (let this vision end).

But Im gonna die in a place that dont know my name
And Im gonna cry in a space that dont hold my fame.

Walking in the cold
Just keep on flying
Therell be a searchlight
On the mountain high
God knows youre lonely souls
God knows youre lonely souls
God knows youre lonely souls
God knows youre lonely souls
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Im a lonely soul.

Im gonna die in a place that dont know my name
Im gonna die in a place that dont know my name.

God knows you are lonely souls
Lonely souls
Lonely souls
Lonely souls
Im a lonely soul.

Fanart

2007-05-21T18:56:41Z

I decided to post my old fanarts of him. These were made in different times, so the artistic level varies too.

Let's star with the oldest, fanart for ArielD, if you read her fanfic you can guess what scene is this and who the drow guy is, the first who guesses right can have an Entreri doodle from me XD

For my own enjoyment, was my desktop wallpaper for a looong time *.*

And another fanart for ArielD (can you tell I love her works?)

Well..that's it:) Hope you all like.

Icewind Dale graphic novel

2007-05-21T14:20:57Z

I just wanted to let everyone know that I recently had the chance of flipping through the pages of the last issue of the ID graphic novel and they DID portrayed AE at the end.

That's is first appearance in the books and they were faithful to it in the comic but unfortunately for us the artist depicted him as too big (which was expected just by the way he draws Drizzt and other elves), gruff, old and disheveled. NOT as the late 20's early 30's, lean, tidy and neat man he's described like in the books.

Tried to find an image in the net but no luck.

Jarlaxle meets Fanfiction

2007-05-05T05:08:40Z

In response to Yunkels worries.. this is how I think Jarlaxle would react.

Fanart Ahead!

Why?

2007-05-04T15:52:09Z

Greetings AE fanclub. Today I want to discuss a topic that perhaps would offend the fangirls, know that this it's not my intenton. What you will read here are my mere thoughts.

Yaoi in the stories. Why so much vice? What's the point to pair two males that clearly are straight (for example Artemis & Jarlaxle). Meh , if there is a female character I like (and respect), I'll write a story where she meets a guy, they become a happy couple, start dating, etc. Not turn her into a lesbian. Now, I know there are yuri fics, Im well aware of that... But they are a minority in comparation of yaoi's. For every 100 gay fics I find, 95 are yaoi and only 5 are yuri.

Here's where I ask: Why can't fangirls write a normal male-female romance story? Is there a reason I'm unaware of? Or what.. what impulses a fangirl to write such stories?

No, I'm not saying you should stop writing them, or change them. I already discussed this with Dary and Yoski, I just want to hear everyone else's opinion.

Oh, just one more thing. When you upload a yaoi fic PLEASE!!!!!!!! point out at the beginning it's yaoi. Remember that not everyone here enjoys that kind of stories (Nuitari).

Pillow-Talk

2007-05-03T08:17:58Z

Ok, several things to say before the story 'cough' begins. I do not own any of the following characters, they are property of R.A. Salvatore and above him, Wizards Of The Coast (not to be confused with Necromancers of the Northwest, of course). Maybe more important than hypocrite disclaimers, I'm French, young and inexperienced on that. There MUST be a lot of mistakes, forgive them and forgive me...

WARNING ! THIS IS YAOI !!

If you want to read, just go there.

And this is the other one.... XD

Artemis's name, a coincidence?

2007-04-24T03:43:19Z

After RotP we have been asking a lot of questions about the issue of Selune and her cleregy in Memnon, how Selune would react to the destruction of her temple, how could Selune's have that much prescence in the City (given Cyric, Tyr and others are "stronger" around there) and even if Artemis could be in Selune's "favor". Why did Salvatore choose Selune to be THAT priest's God?

Quote:
Taken from wikipedia:
Artemis was worshipped almost everywhere in the Hellenic world. She is the goddess of the hunt and the wild; she gradually displaced Selene (the titaness of the moon) as goddess of the moon

Im not saying Artemis will become a god xD (I think Jarlaxle is more close to that) but I wanted to share this with you and to know what do you think. Artemis and Selune, A coincidence?

Obould, the new Entreri?

2007-04-22T21:18:00Z

It has been debated in the RAS forums if the Chosen of Gruumsh is really the new nemesis of Drizzt. Has the Orc replaced the tension the assassin gave to previous books? Please write your thoughts about this.
