Any of the Heralds want to take a shot (not at *me*)? Heeheehee.

A fess is a wide band that crosses a shield horizontally. If it's couped,
that means it doesn't go all the way to the edges of the shield and is
closed at the ends, making a horizontal rectangle on the shield. Now, if
your name is written across this big rectangle.....in all capital letters.....

In service,

and fates, but strong in will. To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield.
