===Tal'mahe'Ra===
From the Ghemalish/Enochian language spoken in the ancient biblical city of Enoch, ''Tal'mahe'Ra'' translates to English as "''Hand Without Sun''" or "''Black Hand''".  After the destruction of the Earthly city of Enoch, the Tal'mahe'Ra began as an alliance between newly homeless Enochian vampires and [[Chakravanti]] [[Mage:_The_Ascension|mages]]; their initial base was the ghostly shadow of Enoch in the [[Underworld]] realm, in which they sheltered and worshiped the ancient slumbering [[Aralu]] vampires.  In addition to vampires and mages, the membership of the Tal'mahe'Ra also includes [[Lich#Liches_in_World_of_Dakness|liches]], Abominations ([[Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse|werewolves]] turned into vampires), [[Revenant#World_of_Darkness|revenants]], [[Wraith:_The_Oblivion|wraiths]], and [[Mummy:_The_Resurrection|mummies]]. They're also remembered for [[Exterminatus|getting nuked]] so hard that Oblivion shat itself, triggering the Sixth Great Maelstrom that utterly fucked up the Underworld's status quo. The order somehow managed to survive Enoch's destruction and now recruit from nearly all clans and bloodlines to rebuild their numbers.

The Tal'mahe'Ra once forbade most from joining their ranks, only accepting "special snowflakes" like the True Brujah, the Old Tzimisce and Cappadocian remnants. Now they allow anyone in their ranks except for modern Tzimisce (They HATE Vicissitude) and the Setites (They HATE the Egyptian gods even more, especially after Enoch was nuked in their name). They're also the only major faction that tolerates Baali (and this ONLY applies to the Molochim (and that that took a lot of convincing)). Nergali are killed on sight like everywhere else.
