 * Her symbol is the circle. The key signifiers of her intrusion is repetition, i.e. "history repeating itself." Endless loops - the details change but the story remains the same. Humans are stuck in linear time, so Yibb-Tstll represents existence sublimated over time. She cannot typically interface with our world, however, because her nature is to be outside of linear time.  cultists can gain 4th dimensional insight through communion with the deity.  This allows them to "see the future" - although for Yibb there is no such thing as future or past. All times appear as one, overlain over each other. Other possible "gifts" from this deity include co-location, the ability to send dreams, and the ability to summon The Black.  Yibb is not really inimical to humanity. However, communion with her tends to drive people insane because knowing the future tends to make one insane....
