I don't think it's likely that the Firebeards and Broadbeams will each get their own banner, since other than their names the two kindreds are virtually indistinguishable. [//www.tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Ironfists http://www.tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Ironfists]

This is where he probably got the idea from. Since the name Ironfists come from The Peoples of Middle-earth, "Of Dwarves and Men" by Christopher Tolkien, it may be considered secondary canon. Therefore, if no writing of J.R.R.Tolkien's officially describes something, The History of Middle-earth books are the highest source of authority. Don't quote me on where the names come from, as I don't actually own that book! My mistake, I forgot about the Red Dwarves. Peoples of Middle-earth isn't secondary canon, it's on the highest tier as it was written later than other works.
