“She was a woman. Good at lying, they are. The God Beyond made'm that way. ”
The God Beyond or the Unknown God is a god that is worshipped on multiple Shardworlds.[1][2][3] It is a belief on a greater God of the universe beyond entities like Shards.[4] It is unknown what relationship the God Beyond has to Adonalsium.
Mentions of the religion
- On Sel, it is referred to as the Unknown God by the MaiPon, although this is indeed the same as the God Beyond.[2] Wan ShaiLu prays to the unknown god[6], and her people relate it to the rocks that fell from the sky.[7] Additionally, in a scene from the perspective of Hoid at the back of the Elantris Tenth Anniversary Edition, Hoid refers to the Unknown God in passing.[8]
- On Threnody, Silence Montane and her daughter William Ann swear to the God Beyond.[3]
The Beyond
On Scadrial, every dead person's Cognitive Shadow would linger in the cognitive realm for a while before being pulled to the Beyond.[9] Presumably, this happens to all sapient species on all cosmere worlds, which would provide a reason why this religion is so wide spread. Almost nothing is known about the Beyond, not even Harmony is able to reach it.[10] However, the relation between "the Beyond" and "the God Beyond" is currently RAFO'd.[11]
