heget | Silmarillion Sigil Set 40

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:

Sea Leafing 01, Sea Leafing 02, Kamon Blue, Brandy-lily

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.
The next four I made with no particular character in mind, though as a group they would work well for Amanyar elves.

The greens are pale aspens and sea-foam, which can be a color of the Teleri (Falmari or otherwise). But the rest of the sigil are gold-lined leaves on white, which is Vanyar. Not just the gold on white, but the use of iris-like leaf clusters. So it is the sigil of a high-ranking Vanyar noble. Perhaps one that fought in the War of Wrath and worked closely with the Teleri navy that transported them (which the two groups had limited connect before the War of Wrath but would have a very close working relationship during the 50 years at the end of the First Age). In fact, it is quite easy to imagine an OC Vanya general falling in love and marrying on of the Teleri captains that worked logistics to supply and transfer the troops of the Army of the Valar that defeat Morgoth and usher in the Second Age. The second sigil has darker blues in a sun-ray pattern and fits the feminine circle as opposed to the masculine diagonal lozenge. Thus one of the most interesting families of the Second to Third Age, the blonde mariners that speak in a soft slow sing-song Quenya as they visit ports in Númenor and bring back the lays of Beleriand- the widely popular Lay of Leithian and Narn i Hurin and stories of the Edain. And then I was stumped at what to call the pair of sigils, which others can attest to. In the end I went with a terrible pun, so they are Sea Leafing 01 and 02.

Kamon Blue. It’s blue. The design is a straight copy of a roundel fleuron, and it has eight points and can fit in a circle so it would work for a noble lady, probably Noldor. Simple, clean, monochromatic, also vaguely like a kamon. Which, yeah, the elven heraldric devices Tolkien created seem as much like Japanese mon as they do European coat-of-arms.

Brandy-lily. Narrow lilies in brandy and crimson, with light yellow green stalks and leaves, and some matching stars (no, not just something for the Fëanorian eight-point star on the doors of Moria -which doesn’t even match the eight-point star on Fëonar’s sigil. Stars of every style and point from 4 to 16 fit across the board for every single tribe. They are all the Eldar who love the stars: Vanyar, Noldor, Teleri, Sindar, Silvan, even Avari). The floral structure is something that fits with the other non-royal Vanyar sigils - the monks and farmers and soldiers I have made. Though these Minyar monks, I have the feeling, know how to party hard. Someone has to be the monks that (re-)invent champagne.
