The Third Tenet
Iblis after Iblis is the Door to the Shadow of the Worlds.
In the Third Rift, Iblis embarks on a struggle to potentiate the borders between, in, and among actual and possible worlds. Iblis incites the exile of humanity from Eden and becomes the foundation for a potential threat of its extinction.
The Third Tenet is that Iblis, after the shadow of Iblis falls, is emblematic of natural forces that encapsulate ends to time and to worlds. That is, Iblis, and then Iblis, is in the umbra of every evocation of an end to a world or end to a time.
Beyond a veil of divinity, Iblis after Iblis imperils humanity by extirpation.
