Many White Horses
The wind is called upon when it is needed. For this ritual, the people summoning the wind let down their hair. Wind force 5 on the Beaufort scale corresponds to a fresh breeze: small trees in leaf begin to sway, crested wavelets form on inland waters, moderate waves taking a more pronounced long form, the wind is clearly audible, chance of some spray, many white horses everywhere.
