Standard of Arnor - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I know Rohan, Dol Amroth, and Gondor had their own flags and symbols for their realms, but does anyone know what the symbol for Arnor would be? After some research I'm wondering could it be a star. The Elendilmir was worn by their king and was the token of royalty. It white and star-shaped. King Ellesar gave Sam Gamgee the Star of the Dúnedain, which seemed to be a sort of medal of honor. And lastly, when the Rangers met with Aragorn in RotK in The Passing of the Grey Company, they were described as not having any type of signia, "only that each cloak was pinned upon the left shoulder by a brooch of silver shaped like a rayed star."

Am I correct in my assertion, or does anyone have other resources that talk about Arnor's symbol? Thanks a bunch. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
