“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 worshiped in 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 or to the Beyond.[5]
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[9], and her people relate it to the rocks that fell from the sky.[10] 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.[11]
- On Threnody, Silence Montane and her daughter William Ann swear to the God Beyond.[3]
