The Great Dark Beyond, also known as Great Dark, Great Beyond, Dark Beyond, or simply Beyond, is the empty void between worlds. It is described as the first of everything when there was nothing, and is part of the primary Material Plane, as opposed to the Twisting Nether. It is essentially the name given to outer space in the Warcraft universe. To date, six planets have been specified in the Warcraft universe: Argus, Azeroth, K'aresh, Xoroth, Xandros and Outland (formerly Draenor). However, countless other planets exist in the Great Dark Beyond.
