Fourth Age Heraldry
Okay, here's one for the heraldry buffs! 
In my 4th Age chronicle (which hasn't actually started yet - another fortnight of planning to go!), I find myself wondering what the livery of the northern part of the Reunited Kingdom would be. I've had it so that most people simply refer to the RK in general as "Arnor" or sometimes "Arnadan" (The Kingdom of Man) or "Adertharnad" (Reunited Kingdom, in Sindarin).
Either way, I was thinking that Gondor would retain the arms of the White Tree (that we see on the Gondor soldiers in the films), but what would be appropriate for the soldiers of the North? Did Arnor originally have a coat of arms that could be brought back? Or what would be heraldry based on the concept of an Elf-stone, to reflect Aragorn?
I've read somewhere that Gondor would have added a winged helm (ala Isildur/Elendil, presumably) after Elessar took the throne, and that the north would have used a plain five-pointed star, but I'm not sure if that was reliable or not (or indeed, even if I dreamt it! )
Thanks for any suggestions!
When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It is difficult only for others.
It's the same when you are stupid...
