Sam Merrriman, M.D.A shield with an argent field and divided by a sable chevron surmounted by a chevron sable fimbriated argent, with a smaller shield overlapping at the center and two crescents flanking. Three ravens surround the chevron; two above, one below. The smaller shield has been divided into quarters—the first and fourth quarter, against a vert field, feature a crescent at the center surrounded by three ravens; two above, one below. The second and third quarters contain a chevron counter-compony that divides a gules field. At the helm, atop a torse and enwrapped by a large snake, is a right-handed arm clad in armor and grasping a sword. Beneath the shield, upon a long banner, is the motto Terar Dum Prosim.still image
