The Synod

The Synod is a Miqo'te religious organisation based out of Nunh's Rest which originally began its life as one of the 6 chambers which were founded beneath the rule of R'sojih in 1,899 Y.A. Though the Commission, a separate religious organisation, had already existed at the time, the Synod was attached as a secondary branch dedicated to the promotion of tribal customs, traditions, and moral upkeep. Several years following its creation, the Synod successfully absorbed the Commission and became the standalone religious organisation for all of the Raven Tribe.

Today, the Synod still functions as a religious organisation dedicated to the service of the Nunh and of the present-day Eorzean Gods. Despite becoming far more modern than what it originally was, the organisation still holds tightly to its Miqo'te roots and religious customs. It is led by the Acolyte.

Composition
The Synod is broken into two separate divisions, each containing different ranks with different assignments. Each division is controleld by the Acolyte.

Blood Circle
The first division is the ''Blood Circle. ''It contains the ranks Auxiliary Acolyte, Blood Priest, and High Priest. This division contains the higher-ranked officials and diplomats of the Synod.

Stone Circle
The second division of the Synod is the Stone Circle. It contains the ranks of Ward, Discipline, and Knight. The Stone Circle is somewhat more militarised than the Blood Circle, and is considered the 'stalwart foundation' of the Synod's physical reach.
