Synodos Earos

The Synodos Vampire (Greek: Σύνοδος Βαμπίρη) is a governing body of vampire clans, similar to the United Nations or the teryo sabcho.

Founded in ancient India as the "Saba Pisacha", the Synod has served as a diplomatic forum for clans to air their grievances and debate for millennia. The original gathering hall in Kannauj was destroyed in ~600 AD by the Hunas and so the leaders of the Saba Pisaca migrated westwards, eventually settling in Constantinople/Istanbul where they remain to this day.

The Synodos gathers every year at the spring equinox (in contrast to the sabcho which gathers at the autumn equinox). They perform a sort of "blood potluck" of slaves or devotees from each pack. The Synodos itself also operates a sort of cult, consisting of humans who have been made, magically or psychologically, to worship vampires, and specifically the head of the Empousai clan.
