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).

I Don't Like This, Not One Bit [...]
If something feels off, it is. If it doesn’t feel off, it means you missed it.
Zero was born suspicious. He came into the world squinting at the doctor like the man owed him money, and it’s only gotten worse from there. Every twitch, every hesitation, every half-second delay in someone’s response—it all feeds into the ever-spinning gears of Zero’s mind. This isn’t just paranoia; it’s a razor-sharp instinct honed by experience and necessity. Zero notices what others dismiss—the too-clean alley in a dirty neighborhood, the nervous twitch of a dealer whose product’s been cut wrong, the way a room’s energy shifts just before someone pulls a gun. When he walks into a place, he clocks every exit, every blind spot, every potential weapon. He knows when he’s being watched. More importantly, he knows when he’s being set up. Maybe it’s supernatural. Maybe he’s just seen too much. But whatever it is, when Zero mutters, “I don’t like this, not one bit,” smart people listen. The dumb ones? Well, they find out why he was right the hard way.
