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).

Sovereign Will
A King in his own mind...
It would be improper, nay, even absurd for the Emperor of the United States of America to fall victim to the machinations of those who would attempt to influence him - fortunately, when acting in his Imperial Role, Issac is quite inured against such perfidious trickery!

Spell Weave: Ward of Dispelling
"Formed in the past from what was forged in the future, may the sands you tread on now, guide you forever forth"
A stringed thread, weaved such a way that would be a symbol of not only protection, but strength and good faith. When the ward protects, it reveals to the user the possible futures of which they are affected, the past and present of whatever reason this affliction was placed upon thee.
To the outside eyes, the thread glows dimly, almost as if it were to warn the user of the thread being tangled. It grows, and a knot is formed as another string of fate has been subverted.

The Illuminati wont infiltrate my mind today
Dominic's tinfoil-lined hat has saved him from a number of mental assaults already, or so he believes, and as time has gone on, the comfort and mental security provided by that idea has become real thanks to the delusions of the conspiracy theorist, and now many will find his mind quite difficult to penetrate.
