Melamed Symbol.png

House Melamed
“If thou hast acquired knowledge, what canst thou lack? If thou lackest knowledge, what canst thou acquire?”

- Talmud, in Cohen

Motto: Learn, Know, Teach

Founded by Nissim, the Lineage of House Melamed is a collection of powerful, thoughtful Tremere. After the clan split into three Houses in 2014, the lineage split as well, with members in all of the various new factions, still held together by a common ethos.
