Heraldry usually balances charges and keeps them oriented the same way.Tergiant*—Viewed from the top, i.e., with the back turned towards the viewer.Tertiary Charge Group—Any group of charges placed entirely on other charges. Tertiary charges in a groupmay be together, such as three charges on a chief, or may each be on members of the same charge group.The design Per chevron argent and sable, two roses and a fleur-de-lys counterchanged and on a chiefpurpure three hearts argent has one group of tertiary charges on the chief.
