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).

Precision Chaos
"A spark of chaos does a whole load of wonders on the battlefield"
The Colonel levels his ethereal Ember Spewer from across the field, gathering shards before firing. A thousand feet away an ally is saved from the swing of an axe, as it corrodes into dust, and the soldier wielding it suffocates till unconsciousness from the almost lethal embers.

Deadshot Mastery
One shot to end it all.
German Sparrow stands poised, his eyes locked on the incoming threat. With a fluid motion, he draws his handgun in a blur of speed. As the enemy strikes, he fires a shot with pinpoint accuracy, the bullet intercepting the attack mid-air, deflecting it harmlessly away. Without missing a beat, he spins the revolver, the cylinder clicking as it reloads effortlessly. In a heartbeat, he’s ready to fire again.

Legionnaire Marksmanship
Breathe in. Count to three. Breathe out. Count to three. Shoot.
The detective's aim and muscle memory allow him to grab, reload and aim the weapons he's familiar with at great speeds.
Over a decade of practicing withing the French Foreign Legion will teach you how to use just about any modern firearm. However, the investigator has a knack for slower firing weapons, preferring to take aim for each shot, make a precise calculation for each bullet, rather than shooting in bursts or using full auto. Years of practice in the countryside with bolt action rifles, pistols and double-barrelled shotguns can help build up uncanny levels of hand-eye coordination.
