Yeah, this is a good idea. I'm often scrambling to find flags and symbols of the sort, and I usually end up Googling them, so this would be very helpful.--{{User:Breragor/sig}} 01:57, 27 December 2009 (UTC) | Yeah, this is a good idea.

The silmarion-based square and circle heraldic devices, what is their source? If theose designs were approved by Tolkien, those could serve as a base for other designs. I can easily make custom heraldic devices of the Third Age basing myself on the descriptions from the books. [[User:Grond|Grond]] 16:41, 30 December 2009 (UTC) | |||

I'm surprised that there is nothing about the many flags and banners of Middle Earth.
Are they appropriate for this wiki?
All flags or banners on the site can be found in this category here.--Breragor • (Talk • Contribs • Edits) 02:56, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Wouldn't it be best to create a page for it, showing he flags and devices, the source, etc. I think I'll try to create one in my sandbox. Grond 10:12, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
- This sounds like an excellent idea! I don't know what others think, but I reckon vexillology and heraldry should be separated? --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 13:29, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think there is really any use in separating heraldry and vexillology. What there is of both is really so little and so basic that it doesn't reach the point where the difference starts to matter. In any case we have no true coats-of-arms at all, so no proper heraldry, we only have some proto-heraldry. In most cases, we have either an emblem of some sorts, or a banner, in the extremely few cases we have both (Gondor), they are so similar as not to be worth the bother of distinguishing them. -- Mithrennaith 15:05, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
