Rodina

Rodina was a childe of the Ravnos Antediluvian. Since at least 200 CE she and other Ravnos fought the Nosferatu Methuselah Baba Yaga for the lands now known as Russia. In the second century Baba Yaga offered immortality to the shaman Synovea. The priestess refused the Iron Hag, who then cursed her, naming her Durga Syn. Later, when Baba Yaga returned to forcibly Embrace her, Rodina created an illusion of an attacking Christian army and stole Durga Syn away in the confusion. Rodina then sired the priestess. Durga Syn would become famous as great Elder of the Ravnos clan.

After Baba Yaga went into Torpor Rodina disappears from Cainite history. If she survived to modern nights she was certainly destroyed during the Week of Nightmares, either consumed by her sire or in the madness afterwards.
