How is it divided?  Vertically?  Horizontally? Diagonally up to the left?  To 
the right?  Plain line?  Complex line?  There's a lot of possibilities.

Also, if you're dividing it "Azure and Sable", then you're going to encounter 
a visual contrast problem.  Those two colors don't show up well together.  
You can't tell where one color begins and another color ends.  That alone will 
kill your emblazon.

Then there's the question of the "argent chevron proper".  There's no such 
thing as a "chevron proper", and certainly not an "argent chevron proper".  I'd 
drop the "proper" part, if I were you.  The rest can stand by itself.

Finally, how are you arranging these charges?  That becomes very important, 
especially when we need to do some conflict checking.
