What Is Prince Durin IV’s Metal Crest? Explained

The metal crest that King Durin III rips off his son is the royal crest. The king is making a statement that Durin isn’t worthy of the crown and that his brother should be the heir instead. It was a difficult decision for Durin to stand up to his father in an effort to save the Elves, who are slowly dying, but the safety of all Dwarves is important, and King Durin III won’t change his mind.

Prince Durin’s wife, Disa, isn’t worried about the king’s anger, and for good reason. The king will forgive his son in time, provided the prince leaves the mithril alone; after all, there could be advances in Dwarf mining technology so the new mineral can be extracted safely.

That’s everything we have on what the metal crest is that King Durin rips off Prince Durin in Rings of Power. Check out some of our other The Lord of the Rings content like what the Stranger’s healing spell means, what Mordor is, and whether Isildur dies in episode 7.
