== The Beyond ==
{{theory}}
On [[Scadrial]], every dead person's [[cognitive shadow]] would linger in the cognitive realm for a while before being pulled to '''the Beyond'''. {{book ref|msh|1}} 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.{{wob ref|6556}} However, the relation between "the Beyond" and "the God Beyond" is currently [[RAFO]]'d.{{wob ref|6555}}
