The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

Contain
Hold things in more than one sense of the word.
If the sack is opened by anyone other than its owner it appears to hold mundane, but uninteresting items reflecting the interests of its owner. For an antique appraiser, it would show discarded paperwork, pictures of artworks, a few measuring tools, etc.
When opened by its owner it shows the sack's true contents, which the inside seemingly stretches to accommodate.
When a living creature enters within and the sack is tied off, it is as if they are being held by an amorphous cloth on all sides with no sense of up or down.
This Artifact holds 5 times what it normally could inside of it. Objects stored inside are weightless.

Umbrella Identification
You are a licensed driver in all 50 states
The spy can do up their passport to appear as any valid form of identification.

The new object's appearance can mimic specific items (such as a particular painting, a certain person’s ID, etc), but must be of a similar size and weight to this Artifact.
The new appearance is illusory; it will hold up to scrutiny, but its composition is not altered and it gains no new functionality. Any attempt to use it for a function which it cannot perform (for instance, making bread look like a knife and then trying to stab someone) will cause the illusion to fail or allow a Perception check to see through the illusion, at the GM's discretion.
When used as identification and scanned, the scanner will act appropriately and bring up appropriate generic information. Further searches for the identity in the computer will turn up no results. This will not open security doors on its own.
- If there is not enough free space to expand the object, it cannot be expanded. You cannot expand this Object as an attack.
- Changing the Artifact’s appearance does not allow you to conceal its Alien nature while any of its other Effects are in use.
