The Godhead: the being which has dreamt up the universe with the story unfolding throughout that dream. It's not too different from the brain in the vat theory, but with a few differences.
CHIM: you're not gonna understand this one without studying it. I can sum up what it is, but you won't get the full picture without putting in time and effort to get it. The search bar can send you to some good articles. At this I can tell you CHIM (always capitalised, all Ehlnofex words are) means "Royalty" literally.
Convention and kalpas: time began with Aka-Tusk, the embodiment of time. Between this event and the end of Convention is called "the Dawn Era", time was super fucked and that's why all the stories don't necessarily line up with each other. Convention is when Lorkhan loses his heart and time solidifies. Alduin, one of the pieces that broke off from Aka-Tusk, eats the world when it's time to revert back to Convention for a new and different world to be created. It's a cycle of worlds, each one being different from the past.

C0DA: There's several threads of this, including one very recently which discusses C0DA as a story, as a mechanic and what it "means". You'd have to tell me what part of C0DA you want to understand, if you say all of it I can't help you at all other than directing you to the search bar

Diablerie, also called the Amaranth, is a term used by vampires to describe the act of drinking another Cainite's blood and drawing their soul into one's own.
Diablerie involves the consumption of another Kindred's vitae to the point of Final Death, but as the soul is consumed with the vampire's heart's blood, the vampire's destruction is absolute. Most vampires consider it a heinous act, akin to cannibalism.
The aggressor, dubbed the diablerist, automatically loses some of its Humanity and is branded by black streaks in their aura that may persist for several years. Still, the practice holds a great deal of allure, for it is said to bestow the greatest pleasure imaginable to the diablerist, greater than the Kiss, and can also grant him or her greater power.
Diablerizing the soul of a Cainite of significant age is one of the few ways of lowering one's generation, for if the victim possessed more potent blood then the diablerist's, the diablerist's Generation drops by one, possibly more if the victim was of notably lower Generation. However, there is the risk of some portion of the victim's soul living on within the diablerist. Rumors abound of diablerists taking on the mannerisms of their victims, and even stranger tales speak of the victims consuming their assailants from within and taking over their bodies. Some Antediluvians and methuselahs are believed to have survived their death in this manner.
The Traditions of the Camarilla strongly forbid the practice, but the majority of the Sabbat and Assamites consider it quite acceptable, one of the reasons both groups are viewed with such fear and disgust. While one's rank in a Path of Enlightenment may fall as a result of committing diablerie, several Paths actually encourage vampires to perform the act under the proper circumstances.
Amaranth
Amaranth is a small red finch from Africa, and some theorize the association with the practice of diablerie arose from the predominant color with the bird and with the drinking. Another hypothesis suggests that it comes from a red orchid traditionally sent to the future victim of diablerie, as an advance warning one week prior to the attack in antiquity and the Dark Ages. Others claim that the association with the word came from a Toreador methuselah called "Amarantha", who might have been the first victim of this foul deed.
