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).

The Slowed Ticking of Time
In dank, musty crypts, air is only needed for speaking
Those who hunt the dying tend to avoid the fate themselves. Valerie has learned to do just that. Barely sleep, barely breathe, barely age. She still needs to eat and drink, for now at least. Death is patient enough, and doesn’t happen all at once. Death has something to teach us all.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You may go five times longer than a normal human without sleep and air. You no longer age naturally, and supernatural attempts to age you fail.
The Shadow; Eternal, Arid, and Barren
Luci's metabology has been changed, altered by Umbra's possession. With it, Luci is able to sustain herself purely using the Well's energy by consuming a medium that closely aligns with its nature. Such comes in the form of ink, which meshes with Luci's fascination with art combined by the inherently shadowy, underworldly, nature of the Well.

Stillness Brand
When Inkz inks this sigil into flesh, time recoils—not halted, but denied its slow decay. The tattoo resembles a shifting ouroboros coiled around a sleeping eye, its curves etched with precise, ritualistic strokes. The lines shimmer faintly, not with magic, but with an eerie stillness—as if the skin itself has forgotten how to breathe, how to age, how to tire.
The bearer becomes a creature who walks outside the rules of mortality’s demands: no breath, no rest, no rot. Yet this stillness is not stagnation. The body can still flourish, create, and grow. Muscles can build, wounds can heal, life can form. But the creeping touch of entropy—wrinkles, exhaustion, expiration—cannot follow.
