== History ==▼
▲Trell is related to one of the sixteen [[Shards]] of [[Adonalsium]].{{wob ref|8631}}{{wob ref|11251}} The identity of that Shard is unknown, though some are more likely candidates than others.{{wob ref|6261}} It is possible that Trell is not itself a full Shard, but rather an avatar, or some other lesser being, which is merely related to a distinct Shard.{{wob ref|12232}} Harmony used a vast, red haze around Scadrial to represent Trell when meeting with [[Waxillium Ladrian]], and Wax described a sensation of "dread and destruction" choking him upon observing it.{{book ref|mb6|28}} The appearance of red suggests that the entity is co-opting or corrupting the [[Investiture]] of another Shard.{{wob ref|8340}}{{wob ref|12126}}
The name Trell has been used in many ways over the eons.{{wob ref|4960}} Trell is not native to [[Yolen]].{{wob ref|12505}}
The seeds for Trell's personality began to be placed during the Classical Scadrial time period when Autonomy prepped the planet for a potential later incursion.{{book ref|mb7|20}} Following the [[Catacendre]] and the actions of [[Kelsier]] a group of individuals in the [[Scadrian System]] grew more interested in possessing powers that stem from off-world. These individuals began to research about the powers granted by 'ancient deities,' these groups eventually attracted the attention of [[Autonomy]] who then began using their Trell personna again. The group would later go on to become the [[Set]].{{wob ref|15983}}

▲A silvery metal with distinctive, dark red spots is associated with Trell.{{wob ref|8555}} This metal has been utilized as a [[Hemalurgic]] spike in several ways. First and foremost is the strange way that such a spike blinds Harmony to the recipient of the spike.{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} Additionally, the spike may also be used to steal mysterious attributes previously unknown to the [[kandra]]. [[MeLaan]] theorized that Paalm was able to utilize stolen [[Allomancy]] and [[Feruchemy]] by means of these attributes.{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} Lastly, the use of such a spike in [[Rian]] appeared to cause, if nothing else, a level of psychological distress.{{book ref|mb5|9}} It is possible that Miles was spiked with this metal as well, before he died.{{wob ref|707}}
There are red-eyed [[Faceless Immortal]]s which appear to act as agents on behalf of Trell.{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}} It is unclear who or what these beings are and how similar they are to typical kandra.

=== Beliefs ===
Followers of Trellism appear to trace the religion's roots to [[Trelagism]] as it is described in the [[Words of Founding]].{{book ref|mb4|11}} The extent to which these religions are related is unclear, as the two religions share no apparent similarities beyond the name of their god.{{wob ref|3183}} Adherents of Trellism believe in a deity
Miles Dagouter encouraged people to actively worship Trell, though the details on how Trell is worshiped are unknown.{{book ref|mb4|epilogue}} Miles believed that Trell created him "to see wrongs righted" and that the religion's teachings proved he was "special" in some way.{{book ref|mb4|11}} It is unclear to what extent Miles' beliefs concerning social justice are held in common among other members of the religion. It is likely that some kernel of these ideas is pervasive in Trellism, given some relations to the philosophies of Paalm{{book ref|mb5|20}} and [[Edwarn Ladrian]].{{book ref|mb5|17}}
