Turns out a relatively important plot point in The Witcher games shouldn't exist at all, so says the books' author

I imagine the main issue is the schools being different places. Kaer Morhen should be the single "school building" of the witchers. Makes sense with Geralt being a White Wolf too - nickname makes more sense if not everybody around is a wolf.
But there are clearly differences between the people with different medalions - like the cats mostly becoming assassins or swords for hire. I'd be really interested in him explaining the different medalions someday.
Edit: also makes me wonder what schools/medalions the others had. Never thought about this one, not sure if it is mentioned.
Presumably the others all had very different medallions, possibly not always related to some animal. At least that's the headcanon I had when reading the books
It is very likely. Though we only have animal examples. And multiple people shared one category so there probably was some system behind it.
