Hierárchion

Welcome to The Hierárchion (Hierarchion), the permanent and undisputed center of spiritual governance for The Ophidian Synodus worldwide. As the official seat of the Hierarch (Hierárches), this location serves as the nexus where the supreme authority of the Taxis (Order) is executed.

It is here that the Hierarch works with the Private Council, including the Taksiarchs, to translate the eternal mandate of the Pharmakon into global administrative and spiritual action.

The Hierárchion is the living embodiment of the Synodus's sovereignty and discipline.

The Hierarch

The Hierarch (Hierárches) stands as the unique and ultimate spiritual and administrative head of The Ophidian Synodus. Elected for life, the Hierarch embodies the supreme will of the Order and serves as the final, absolute guarantor of the Pharmakon and the Serpent.

Executive power resides with the Hierarch, who, from the Seat of the Hierárchion, guides the entire global Taxis. He works in close counsel with the Private Council and the Taksiarchs to execute the Synodus’s mandate.

The Hierarch is the living manifestation of the wisdom and discipline essential for the Synodus’ growth.
