Tales To Be Told
Downtime
Goshen here isn't so bad.
There Ricter was trying to save it but here, it wasn't ever a nice place, but it's not fallen from law and order and run by the Sons of Salem. There's still plenty of homeless people to help, but it's no longer in a state of anarchy. Maybe that way I can focus on ending homelessness instead of protecting the homeless. My stuff was all here as promised, Borker was waiting as usual. He had been well fed. I need a Harbinger who will dog sit more often. There's something different about this place though, the supernatural isn't well known here like it was where I came from. There's no Sons of Salem, or OWL, or Offr, it's very different here. The Harbinger, The Talent, said I was going to be big here, even alluded to old friends being here. I called Dr. Starter, Lawrence, and Krissy Furbelow, there all here but seem to think they always were... something nags at me though.

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).
