Yhoundeh is an elk-goddess worshiped in the peninsula of Mhu Thulan, in the old continent of Hyperborea, before it was covered in glaciers and made uninhabitable. Little is known about the cult of Yhoundeh other than that the priests made vows of celibacy and persecuted those who worshiped older deities, such as Zhothaqquah.
