[edit] Summary

Finwë (created by Mansbjorkman)

Finwë's heraldic device shows a "winged sun", opposing Elwë's device of a winged moon. Though Finwë actually died before the first rising of the sun, he was the king of the Noldor that reached the light of Aman and saw the Two Trees. Sixteen "points" reach the edges of the sign, signifying Finwë's position as one of the oldest of the Quendi and the High King of the Noldor. His bright yellow and red colours seem to be echoed in the devices of his heirs Fëanor, Fingolfin, and Finarfin.

NOTE: The device of the High Kings of Ňoldor has an almost identical device (it is a shape of a square instead of a lozenge) to the device of Finwë and was used by Finwë, Fingolfin, Fingon, and Turgon.
