Editing Mage: the Awakening: Twenty-Five Lighters (section)

===Diamond Orders===

====Adamantine Arrows====
* '''Fiery Analemma''' -- six mages that were the vanguard of the campaign against the Seers in the Greater Houston area. Withdrew to Galveston after the Storm after suffering major casualties during an assault against a Seer pylon operating near the Port of Houson.

====Guardians of the Veil====
* '''Cui Bono''' -- a self-styled "oversight" cabal dedicated to keeping an eye on newly-Awakened mages and "keeping them out of trouble," Cui Bono also strives to shield Sleepers from any malevolent supernatural influence. Currently guided by the Mastigos mage known as Logos, the Cui Bono mages work closely with leading mages in the region, trading information and other resorces as needed.
* '''Lightning Razors''' -- one of the larger cabals in the region, they are composed of three cells of three martially-focused mages that once worked closely with the Fiery Analemma cabal. Most notorious for pursuing and defeating the Mad One calling himself "Kadmon."

====Mysterium====
* '''Men of Letters''' -- organized by five mages of the Mysterium, the Men of Letters cabal is composed of academics from among the University of Houston, the University of St. Thomas, and Rice University. Having recently won acclaim for repelling an incursion of passion spirits on the UST campus, the Men of Letters tend to work alone in order to concentrate on pure research.
* '''Lone Star Environmental LLC''' -- an environmental consulting company started by two mages, normally completing contracts for petrochemical firms and providing additional expertise for academic investigations.

====Silver Ladder====
* '''Thalassa, Magna & Assoc. LLP''' -- a cutthroat PIP law firm founded by Robert Thalassa and Thomasina Magna. Censured for using Awakened Arts to arrange desired outcomes in court, Thalassa and Magna nonetheless evade more adverse action against them by providing pro bono legal assistance to any mage that engages their services.
* '''Staff & Serpent''' -- SAS began eight years ago as a local coed service fraternity on the UH campus. After the original founder-mages graduated, they retained the name for the public policy research institute they organized a few years later. Staff and Serpent works closely with Thalassa and Magna, trading networking resources and research for various legal services including harassment and obstruction of their adversaries.
* '''Jubilee Restoration House''' -- now headed by Councilor Assita Falls after the assassination of its founder Kortikos by the Seers, the four mages working in this private outreach organization help provide vital services for battered women and children, the homeless, and other souls in desperate need.
