The Third Tenet
The Third Tenet
Iblis after Iblis is the
Shadow of the Worlds
In the Third Rift, Iblis embarks on a struggle against humanity, first as the impetus for its exile and second as the elemental threat of its extinction.
In it lies the closing of borders to places and the ending of times.
Long before the Sun wept in fear of shadow, humanity had a spire.
Well before the passing of the great lineages before mankind.
Every community dreads its terminus and every lineage its decline.
The Third Tenet is that Iblis after Iblis is the Shadow of the Worlds.
