Flags of Gondor
The White Tree of Gondor appears on the flags of Gondor.
Aragorn's Flag
- Book V, Chapter 6: "The Battle of the Pelennor Fields"
Stewards
- ""... and upon the White Tower of the citadel the standard of the Stewards, bright argent like snow in the sun, bearing no charge nor device.""
- ― Lord of the rings, "The Steward and the King"
Dol Amroth
- "Upon the left was a banner, silver upon blue, a ship swan-prowed faring on the sea."
- ― The Lord of the rings, "The Field of Cormallen"
The army of Dol Amroth used blue banners with silver swan-ships. The prince is said to use a ship and a swan on his banners.[1]
Movie Versions
In the movies, the flag consists of the White Tree on a black background.
Flags of Rohan
- "It bore the running horse, white upon green, that was the emblem of the House of Eorl"
- ― Lord of the rings, Book III Chapter 6 (The King of the Golden Hall)
Movie Version
In contrast to the book, the movie version of the flag appears to have a black background. Some speculate that it is very dark green.[2]
Other replicas show it as a green flag.[3]
