Suilad to All,
I have been talking with some people about Rohirric symbols. In The Two Towers we see a banner of a white horse against a green background. Are there any other Rohirric symbols mentioned in the books or the movie? Hannon le.

I can't remember right off hand if there are a lot of Rohirric symbols described in the books or not. But if you have access to The Two Towers Extended Edition, in the part where they talk about designing the different cultures, they'll talk a lot about what they chose to represent Rohan and such. There's also a bunch of pictures of the tapestries and flags they made in the galleries on the disc. _________________ Rebekah's Raiments

Horses, horses, horses, horses and more horses.
The text also describes the floor and collumns of Meduseld as being covered with symbols but doesn't, as I remember it, go into greater detail. _________________ NB Duchess of WHY TF Cant'chu Punctuate, First Duchess of F*&(ing &*ll yur comma placement sux!

I remember the Horse and the Sun being a huge part of the Rohirric designs.
Also because, the Rohirric culture was based on Anglo-Saxen (?), I beleive that it would be safe to assume that some variety of knots and braids would play into the designs.
Right? |
