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.

In order:

Green Elves of Ossiriand (Laiquendi or Nandor), Mirkwood (Oropher, Thranduil, Legolas)

Notes:

Here are sigls for two generalized Sindar-Silvan groups, both with near identical stories on how I created them.

I had some color palettes for houses, one of which I used a lot in the Amanyar elves. I would make random sigils using those color choices as practice. Originally the first one was just a palette swap of one of those old designs. It sat around in my geometric heraldry folder until I was making banners. I applied it to the mesh and thought, “Okay, the Nandor. My Green Elves need a banner, and this is plenty of green.” Art Nouveau pea flowers (sort-of) became House of Denethor (The Original). Another random design attempt had the right browns and greens that when I was pressed to give something to the whole Oropher-Thranduil-Legolas clan, I also revived this one from the back of the folder and rechristened it Mirkwood. Actually I may go back and make a more Sindarized version of this for Oropher in the First Age, but this is the sigil for the Second and Third Age in Mirkwood/Greenwood the Great.

I love your sigils so much – will you do more for the third age and more in the Mirkwood clan?

Here’s where I made a few more Third Age sigils on request, including Legolas LINK. I haven’t made any sigils recently, but I have my request box open at all times.
