outworld

Beyond our planet

Outworld refers to a world or realm outside of or beyond the familiar one—typically in science fiction or fantasy contexts.

An outworlder is someone from such a place, usually an alien or interdimensional visitor: The outworld invasion began at dawn.

The term suggests otherness and foreignness, positioning the external realm against a home world or primary setting.
