a properly laid and unlit campfire is a summoning circle for the lesser-known succubus Irinvia, Bringer of Flame, Wearer of Flannel, Seducer of Outdoorspeople

once summoned, campers may attempt to bargain a fraction of their souls to Irinvia for either carnal entertainments, wilderness knowledge, or to conjure the one critical item that they forgot somewhere between packing list and woods (typically a can opener, a hammer with a stake extractor, or bug spray that isn't expired)

despite the majestic tone of her shoulders, the perfection of her pixie cut, and the artful wrap of her shell jacket around her generous hips, Irinvia has claimed more souls from replacing flashlight batteries alone than she ever has from carnal entertainments or instructive nature hikes

There are so many cool ways to represent a fear of the unknowable, and of course Lovecraft picks racism, xenophobia, and ableism.
