Silmarillion Sigil Set 29



Disclaimer: Here is a blend of Original Tolkien creations (aka my best efforts at recreating the author’s drawing), modifications on the original, and designs completely from cloth. Previous Entries can be found under the sigil tag. Please credit if use.

In order:

Aranwë, Winterfell, Mithmeren

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.Here are some of the fusion crossovers with ASoIaF. Okay, wait, let me explain! (More explanations for some are in this post as well)

So I mention how most of these random sigils are just as background -to give extra banners in throne rooms for the allusion of liege lords and larger populations. And that also when I have to make all the unnamed background and bit-part characters, the soldiers and servants following our leaders, it’s easier for me to think of characters from other stories and adapt them in.

Now Lalwen/Irimë already had a sigil with what looked like golden antlers. And one of the theories I read that tried to explanation UT Voronwë’s claim of being of the house of Finwë (though like with Gildor “this has to be an alias” Ingolrion I tend to judge this statements as being a vassal under the house) was that his father Aranwë was either married to or the son of Finwë’s daughter that came to Beleriand. Therefore Voronwë was Lalwen's son or grandson. I just went with him as her trusted, overworked steward. So a little black with the gold antlers and I have Aranwë and can chortle about having the elf Baratheon banners to fit the rocking deer.

Winterfell. Umm, yep, I wanted to give the Starks a story where they could stay happy AU family. Pity I fused them into The Silmarillion, so I think my outline ends up killing even more of them, but since they’re Noldor they can at least be resurrected without problems. Because I found the idea of an elf version of Robb Stark as one of Finrod’s ten companions that get eaten by the werewolves a little too darkly humorous. The family is one of the few I have living in the proto-Formenos area, and I can give a long post on them elsewhere. But also- I needed a sigil with that different color scheme.

Mithmeren are the Greyjoys as Falathrim, as explained here. Because the only characters I really care about nowadays are Jeyne Poole and Theon Greyjoy, and I had to give them a happy ending in my Sims game if nowhere else.

They don’t get more silly than this.
