The highest authority of the Blood Clan was the loosely structured Elder Council. In most cases, the Elder Council were places where the ancient blood clans retired. They only dealt with important matters, and the Blood Clan seldom had important matters, so they hardly dealt with anything.
Beneath the Elder Council, there was a Dark Night Deacon Council with actual functions. In name, it executed decrees formulated by the Elder Council; in reality, it mediated disputes between different families. After all, technically speaking, all blood clans were related to each other. Any obscure blood clan could be linked to countless family powers, especially those upper blood clans with surnames. Regardless of his surname, whether ancient or new, the standard for upper blood clans was that they had no human mixed blood. Thus, their ancestors were only those few ancient blood clans.
