The Great Unknown is a fictional supreme being in the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. It is venerated by the Athar and the source of power for Athar clerics. The Athar believe that the gods are just extremely powerful mortals and as such, do not worship them. Instead, they believe that their cleric’s power comes from The Great Unknown. It is believed that the Great Unknown also gives the clerics of the Godsmen their abilities. Aside from this the Great Unknown is more mysterious than even the Lady of Pain^{[original research?]}.
