A representation of the standard's emblem
After Aragorn and Arwen became engaged in TA 2980, Aragorn again went abroad from Rivendell to fight the servants of Sauron. It was then that Arwen made a standard for him in the hope that he would one day claim his rightful place as king of Gondor and Arnor.[1] It had a black field and in the center was the tree of Gondor. Above the tree were the symbols of Elendil, seven stars and a crown above it. The stars were made of gems and the crown of mithril and gold.
Aragorn took it with him through the Paths of the Dead and to the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. There it was triumphantly unfurled when Aragorn arrived at Harlond after capturing a fleet of Corsairs from Umbar.[2]
