Stricken Anvil

House-of-the-Hammer-of-Wrath.jpg
The Stricken Anvil was the emblem of the House of the Hammer of Wrath, a house of Gondolin under Rog. It was emblazoned upon their shields: a hammer striking an anvil, sending sparks up. The larger part of that House were smiths, and it is probably from this that the symbol comes.
