Clan Crests

Clan Crests (直紋 Chokumon) are distinctive images that represent noble Clans.
== Information ==
They can only be in the possession of someone from a clan’s direct line and those affiliated with them. The direct line also includes those that marry into the Clan. Clan Crests are used as a form identification and proof of a person’s social status and family nobility.

The Clan Crest of the Clan Head is the Colorful Clouds in the Moonlight (月下彩雲 Gekkasaiun) and the Clan Crest of the High Priestess is the Golden Ring Eclipse (月食金環 Gesshokukinkan). Often, the Head and the High Priestess are the same person but Hyou Ruka gave the position of Clan Head to her brother, Hyou Ryou Sr. so the crests represent two different people.
