The Third Tenet
Iblis after Iblis is the Door to the Shadow of the Worlds.
In the Third Rift, Iblis embarks on an effort to secure the borders between, in, and among actual and possible worlds. Iblis incites the exile of humanity from Eden and becomes the fulcrum for a potential threat of its extinction.
The Third Tenet is that Iblis, in the wake of the shade of Iblis, is a conduit or route of access to natural and divine forces that wring out barriers. Iblis and Iblis after him is the closure of borders at the edge of places or endings of times.
Iblis after Iblis is a route to spatial barriers or temporal beginnings and endings.
Beyond a veil of divinity, Iblis after Iblis imperils humanity by extirpation.
