The '''Synod''' were the ruling council of the [[Keeper]]s of [[Terris]].{{book ref|b|mb2|c|30}} They were present both before and during the [[Final Empire]], but it is yet unknown if they continue to rule the Terris communities after the [[Final Ascension]].
 
The Synod charged themselves with keeping knowledge of the world before the [[Lord Ruler]]'s Ascension. However, they did not openly rebel against the Final Empire, instead staying as a secret organization based in [[Tathingdwen]], in the Terris dominance. The Synod opposed [[Sazed]]'s decision to assist in [[Kelsier]]'s rebellion.
 
After the Lord Ruler's death, the Synod spread the knowledge collected from before the Ascension. [[Tindwyl]], a Keeper of the Synod, traveled to [[Luthadel]] to assist [[Elend Venture]] in securing his kingdom's borders.{{book ref|b|mb2|c|14}}
 
In the later events of ''[[The Well of Ascension]]'', [[Steel Inquisitors]] attacked Tathingdwen under the influence of [[Ruin]], killing all of the Synod in the city.{{book ref|b|mb2|c|56}} This left Sazed as the only known living Keeper.
