Lord of the Rings Swan Knight

The Swan Knights of Dol Amroth are among the most elite and storied warriors in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, hailing from the coastal principality of Dol Amroth in Gondor. Bearing the emblem of the silver swan upon a field of blue, they are famed not only for their striking heraldry but also for their valor and chivalry. These knights ride superb horses and don shining mail, often described as bright and fair even amid the gloom of Mordor’s shadow.

Led by Prince Imrahil, they answer Gondor’s call in its darkest hour, riding to Minas Tirith to bolster the city’s defenses during the War of the Ring. Their arrival is a vision of hope—a reminder of Gondor’s proud lineage and enduring strength. In Tolkien’s legendarium, they stand as symbols of nobility and the last flowering of Númenórean grace in Middle-earth.
