Synopsis

 Spoiler Section (Highlight to Read)
 The cults of Yig and the Horned Man have been weakened or destroyed, and Jean Cabrillon has the complete l'Elucidaire in his possession: The investigators have inadvertently freed him to carry out his dark plan. The plot first requires Cabrillon's daughter, Blanche, to marry a young man named Mathieu Lagnelet. After the ceremony, Jean Cabrillon plans to lead the newlyweds to a subterranean shrine to Shub-Niggurath, where Blanche will have no choice but to sacrifice her new groom in a ritual that will summon the goddess and have her restore Jean Cabrillon's vitality. The investigators, guests at the wedding, must first discover their patron's secret agenda, then find the underground temple, and finally disrupt the ritual.
