“She was a woman. Good at lying, they are. The God Beyond made'm that way. ”

—Wayne

The God Beyond or the Unknown God is a god that is worshiped on multiple planets in the cosmere. It is a belief in a greater God of the universe beyond entities like Shards. It is unknown what relationship the God Beyond has to Adonalsium or to the Beyond.

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. Wan ShaiLu prays to the Unknown God, and her people relate it to the rocks that fell from the sky.
