What was on the banner of the High Elven Kings - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Mornie Alantie · 12-14-2002, 09:17 AM

Me and two of my cousins are starting a white counsel. We want to make a flag/banner for it with the high elven kings banner.(Fingolfin, Gil-galad, etc.).
Since I have no time to look this up(busy making many costumes for the movie) I wondered if you guys could help. Thanks. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Well, I think they would show the two trees, like they´re shown on the gates of Moria. Also, Feanor´s house had a star as an emblem.
For inspiration, check the gates of Moria in your book.

You might want to take a look into the book The Pictures by JRR Tolkien where the Professor himself gave us his ideas what the emblems of Elwe Thingol, Feanor, Fingolfin, Gil-galad et alii looked like.

Additionally, those of the house of Fingolfin contained blue and silver in their banners. Fingon's banner is described as such.

We already figured out the Blue and Silver. Feanor was never considered as the high king of the Noldor because of his Rebelion, yet Fingolfin was. We also came up with the Ideas of the Trees and the Star of Earendil. (or however you spell it). Well probably just do that then. Thanks [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

My edition of the Sil has some pictures asociated with different people. The only High Elven king (if you reject Feanor) who is featured in them is Fingolfin, which is a series of red squigles in a silver circle, which has a gold circle around it, which in turn has squiggles which fade from orange to yellow moving out of them. These squigles toutch the corners of a Diamond (or sorta rotated square) shape in which everything is contained. I think someone on the downs has it as their picture.
