The difference between the Iron Hills and Erebor is just so blurred. First Dwarves flee Smaug in Erebor and move to the Iron Hills, making the IH Dwarves essentially Erebor Dwarves. Then, Erebor is repopulated by the IH Dwarves. If the Iron Hills had enough time to come up with a unique banner for themselves, it would be Dain's banner. That hypothetical banner would remain banner of the IH, but now Dain rules Erebor as well, so it also has his hypothetical banner.

Either that, or there was no banner change, and therefore only one banner. Whats so strange on a city banner? Every little village in germany has its own coat of arms, I see no reason why the most wealthy dwarven city should't get their own coat of arms like banner

Imladris also was in fact, just one elvish mansion and have its own banner in the mod, so the capital of the dwarves deverse it

I would suggest a banner with the Arkenstone Yes, Erebor should have its 'own' banner. But the IH should have exactly the same banner. Since they are all of Durin's Folk at the time (except the Blue Mts) they can simply have the current banner of Durin's Folk. Dude, Imladris and Minas Morgul were also just cities, so it would makes sense if the Erebor should get their own city banner with an arkenstone...whazs so wrong with 1 banner... Imladris was no city. It was a large house. It had a baner because Elrond was of a royal house of the Ñoldor. Minas Morgul was a tower, a fortress. It shouldn't really have its own banner. Minas Morgul had its own banner in the lore, it was mentioned in the return of the king book

I know that Imladris is a house, in fact a large mansion with some buildings arround it

Minas Morgul was also a city with a big tower in the centre, once known as Minas Ithil. It was the capital of Ithillien and city of Isildur. Its the counterpart of Minas Arnor, Arnarions City, now known as Minas Tirith. The city Minas Morgul was captured by the Nazgul and since this day, its an horrible place where no free person could live

Minas Morgul even served as the effective capital of Mordor for about a thousand years, until Sauron's return and the rebuilding of Barad-dûr.
