 * coughs* lore-wise, orcs deep inside hated Melkor more than anything else because of the suffering he's putting them through *cough* but I really like the suggestion of a tattered black banner... would make sense.

Perhaps the 'difference' on the three levels would be the COLOR of the tatters? So technically they would have to be holes right, but instead I would think of them showing the 'background' of that level, making it look more like splotches?

So the banners on the first level would be tattered black and have lighter blue or grey holes. (probably bluer, like the blue utumno bricks)

The second level would have deeper purple 'holes' like the obsidean utumno bricks.

And the third levels 'tatters' would be fiery red, like the fire utumno bricks.

Or maybe all the tatters are just holes :P I don't know up to mevans XD but great suggestion! What if, instead of the tatters being splotches, the tatters were made differently?

Level 1 would have ice around the edges, because the banners aren't any special wool or cloth, and some holes would have ice around them.

Level 2 could be very jagged, as when carrying the banner around, it got ripped on a few of the obsidian stalactites, and therefore had many jagged edges at the bottom, maybe even making it look like 3/4ths of a banner instead.

Level 3 would have burn marks and holes with burnt embers around them, because it's the level of fire.
