In the bonus Hoid scene at the end of Elantris, it says that Hoid looked up at "the Unknown Gods domain". What is that referring to?

Could you add some additional context for that quote; maybe the one or two lines before and after? I've read Elantris, but don't remember this passage.– LiesmithCommented Feb 4, 2019 at 13:53

2@Liesmith - Yeah, it's an added scene in newer additions, and it comes after some of the "extra" scenes from earlier drafts. Offhand, it's probably a reference to the God Beyond, which is a concept running around more recent Cosmere books as more and more people get used to the idea of the gods, plural, they usually know not being a permanent fixture.– RadhilCommented Feb 4, 2019 at 17:48

It seems it's just another name for God Beyond. Sanderson was asked about this scene:
Windrunner:
Shai refers to an Unknown God, is this at all related to the rocks that fell from the sky that Shai's ancestors carved?
Brandon Sanderson:
For her people, there is a relationship. But watch for mentions of the God Beyond in the books. There is more here.
