“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 on multiple planets in the cosmere.[1][2][3] It is a belief in 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 Roshar, Hoid refers to the God Beyond in a parable while talking with Shallan.[8] Dalinar also casually mentions the God Beyond while talking to Kaladin.[9]
- 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,[10] and her people relate it to the rocks that fell from the sky.[11] Additionally, while attempting to become an Elantrian at Devotion's Perpendicularity, Hoid thinks that the lights of the restored city of Elantris seem to ascend "to the Unknown God's domain itself."[12]
