The Luminous Being's History

The Luminous Being is a mysterious and supreme entity that exists beyond the normal cosmology of the Forgotten Realms. It is described as being present at both the beginning and the end of time, while simultaneously existing outside of time and space. as well as described as both cold and harsh, yet simultaneously forgiving and warm. This being is responsible for the creation and destruction of all universes, with the overgods, including Ao (the overgod of Realmspace), considered to be its subordinates. However, around 1479 DR, it was claimed that Lord Ao served no one. In Waterdeep (2003), author Troy Denning notes Luminous Being has been purposefully left open to interpretation.
