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).

Animal Whisperer
Mae kneel down and with a gentle eye, they would offer a treat for the animal and touch their head to connect Mae's mind with the animal mind. Her eye roll backwards and start to mumbling. Afterward Mae would feel exhausted and sweat roll down her forehead and cough up some blood.

Lunavox
Crescent moon shaped that is 2 inches tall forged from silver metal. The inner edge of the crescent cradles a tiny moonstone crystal that glows icy blue when in use or when animals are near. it hangs from a black leather cord, with silver clasps etched with claws and feathers.
Activation is by touching the moonstone with two fingers, her tattoos begin to faintly glow icy blue starting at the collarbone as well as her eyes. Her voice takes on an enchanting resonance, subtle yet impossible to ignore; any nearby animals pause to await her command.
The powers of the pendant are stronger under moonlight, especially in a full moon and weakest in artificial light or total shadow.
