What symbol was on Tuor's battle standard and why did he use it?

The white swan wing, and I'm guessing it's because of the swan's symbollic significance to him, what with them leading him on while he dwelt by the sea. Also, it was the symbol on the armor he found in Nevrast.

That's it!

Thanks muchly.

When Frodo is imprisoned in Cirith Ungol, Sam begins to sing in hopelessness and thereby learns Frodo's location. This event is mirrored very closely by a First Age event. What event is this?

Fingon singing on the cliffs of Thangorodrim and Maedhros' reply to him as he hung by his wrist.

What is the importance of a certain song of Glirhuin's?
