DESCRIPTION

This ritual calls down Ithaqua, the Elder God of ice, wind, and ravaging hunger. Ithaqua may take several hours to appear, and might remain distant so that only the impossibly cold winds that follow his path mark his dread presence. Regardless, Ithaqua will likely bring along some gnoph-keh and transform any ritual participants into wendigo, if they are not wendigo already.
