In order:

Tuor

Notes:

Yes, I'm reposting these once more. Because if people in the Silmarillion/Tolkien fandom continue to use them, I want nice official links to them. And so another crosspost from tumblr project is born.

Okay, so I had Beren and then made a Túrin, and there was a canon Idril and Eärendil, and I filled in everyone else on the family tree but Tuor. So he deserved his own sigil.

Sigils for Edain means only vertical symmetry.

The background shapes with the spears are directly from the sigil of the House of Hador. The black, white, grays, and blues are from Eärendil - as is the star in the north a call forward to the Star of Hope - and something directly copied from Beren’s sigil. The white wings are a nod to the shield he found in Vinyamar and which he took as his token- Gondolin has more conventional heraldry as opposed to the fractal absurdities of these sigils. Also from the tale “Of Tuor and His Coming to Gondolin” are the swans that bow to him and proffer a feather each which he attaches to the crest of his helm. And waves shapes at the bottom for Ulmo.
