On Roshar, Hoid refers to the God Beyond in a parable while talking with Shallan.[4] Although Dalinar does not use the name God Beyond, he mentions having felt a warmth and light from a being beyond the Almighty.[5] Based on the wording, this could be the same being.
On Sel, it was 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 related 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] It is unknown what relationship the God Beyond has to Adonalsium.
