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).

Subsonic Quake
Shiver and quake, shithead Corpos.
The user crosses their arms in an X shape as a field of low-frequency soundwaves is produced from the artefact and emits a wave of inaudible but heavy vibrations to push objects away, with the user being able to tweak which animate objects can and cannot be repelled. The participants feel an intense vibration passing through them regardless of whether or not it repels them, however, when it does repel them, the vibrations feel like an intense wall of weight pushing them back.
Originally a prototype for hearing tech that could amplify the user's hearing, it had the major side effect of sending out intense sound waves to the user, deafening some, so it was scrapped. One day, while running away from home, Jarret had come across the tech in one of the many trashcans he had come across, did a little tweaking and made this gear usable... Well usable in a different manner at least.
