the fact that countless peoples and civilizations associate the fury of nature with supernatural forces,
contributed to Itaqua becoming the embodiment of most of the tempestuous Gods of the distant past.
Scholars of the Mythos drew parallels between Itaqua and various entities, such as the Aztec god
Quetzalcoatl, Thor, the Norse God of Thunder and Enlil, a Sumerian / Babylonian deity responsible
for storms. In the northern hemisphere of the planet, the real nature of Itaqua is better understood by
cultists who worship him with awe and submission.

Itaqua is considered one of the most important entities in the Pantheon of Inuit gods, known by
Eskimo peoples as Sila. With that name, He was revered by native tribes scattered across reaches of
the Arctic desert, from Siberia to Greenland. The cult of Sila also had enclaves of cultists inhabiting
the most inhospitable territories of the extreme north of Canada and Alaska where His influence was
unquestionable. Cultists try to placate his fury with bloody offerings and rituals. Sacrifices were
offered at certain dates, with the chosen victims being tied up in stakes and abandoned on plains and
deserted lands where the God materialize, accompanied by an immense storm. With these offers, the
cultists believed that Sila / Itaqua would be satisfied and convinced to not send his punishment.
Sometimes he was satisfied with the sacrifices, but sometimes, in anger, he bury entire villages under
the snow, making them disappear forever.
Not by chance, Itaqua was always much more feared than
adored, and his cults almost completely disappeared in the
early nineteenth century. However, bastions still resisted in
certain isolated parts of the far north in little town as

When the stars reached their fateful alignment, Itaqua found himself trapped by these powerful
cosmic chains, unable to break the prison built to capture the Great Old Ones. Like his brethren, he

Since cults devoted to him have flourished in regions of Mexico, Japan, and Persia, it is presumed
that he has the tolerance to travel to milder climes, albeit in rare instances. In order to move from one
place to another, Itaqua draws on colossal storms and other climatic phenomena of substantial
intensity that seem to carry Him across the planet. It is possible that He also uses portals and other
magical methods, even if its cultists adopt the notion that the God simply flies through the Winds. His
moniker "Wind Walker" comes from this characteristic in particular, since the traditions affirm that "he

is able to walk in the wind, as men walk on
the land."
Little is known about the origin and history of
Itaqua. Even by the standards of the obscure
entities that form the Mythos, knowledge
about Him is minimal. This is probably due to
the fact that most of His cultists come from
cultures and peoples who do not have written
records. Much of the information about the
God has remained confined within small
isolated communities, orally transmitted.
