Ten'i

Ten'i (天意, lit. "Divine Will", "Will of Heaven", "Principle of Natural Laws") is the governing force of the universe, and the balance which the Irin seek to protect.

Overview
Ten'i is loosely defined as the governing forces of the universe, comparable to karma or fate. Although the Irin protect it and maintain its balance, they have no control over it. Thus they do not have the power to determine whether a soul is sent to Heaven or Hell; these are determined by the aspects of the soul itself.
