The Great Beyond

The Great Beyond, also called Avanteri Avantaras or Beyond the Beyond, is the sage's name for the supernatural, seemingly interconnected sentience that exists beyond the Inner and Outer Planes, outside the Liminal Plane and all other known planes of existence. The Great Beyond is an alien intelligence whose tendrils occasionally manifest on other planes, most often as an all-but-certainly malevolent horror known as an Aberration. Occasionally, the Great Beyond will communicate directly with a mortal or immortal being, giving them strange instructions or powers like that of a Warlock or Sorcerer.
The Great Beyond existed long before Fricka, and will likely exist far beyond when all mortals and gods die. It exists in all timelines and all versions of the universe. Its memory is manifold and flawless.
Mortal attempts to reach intentionally into the Great Beyond are ill-advised and futile, and always end in mass instances of madness, destruction, and horror beyond mortal comprehension. The Order of the Banished Scholars was expelled from Cape Hildegard due to the sheer danger of even theorizing about such an attempt.
