Translated from blazonry: On a field of red with silver water drops, a golden scythe with a black shaft. We styled the scythe like a giant fang, because again, werewolf knight.

After I learned the first three numbers I was given to understand the Great Law of Four - the alpha and omega of all. I saw the Emperor on a lofty stone throne, ornamented by four rams' heads. On his forehead shone a golden helmet. His white beard fell over a purple mantle. In one hand he held a sphere, the symbol of his possession, and in the other, a sceptre in the form of an Egyptian cross--the sign of his power over birth.
