These are the crests for my Elite Schools for Exorcists. They are set in an imaginary world and there are only five such schools. Each coat of arms is associated with the region and kingdom in which the school is located

They are, in turn: - Heirjon School in the kingdom of Qruiner - a typically aquatic kingdom (blue with stingrays) - Eretiv school in the kingdom of Ombria - a typically forest kingdom (with owls) - School of Terakois in the kingdom of Tiver - a typically winter kingdom (with eagle) - School of Ereoin Vrety in the kingdom of Valwa - a typically desert kingdom (with a flower) - Yirini Veilta School in the kingdom of Levaso - a typically canyon kingdom (with a goat skull)
