:Little is known of the religion except that Trell is supposed to have made metalborns. The [[Words of Founding]] are said to contain a lengthy explanation of Trellism and its teachings, which indicates that metalborns were special.{{ref|b|aol|c|11}} There are theories{{ref|17S|1808|5=Trellism; Why Miles sees metalborns as divine}} on the origins of this religion but most of what is known comes from Miles' perspective.
In the novel ''Mistborn'', Trell is referenced as the god of the Nelazan people, who were said to have lived far to the North in Pre-Ascension times. The Nelazans worshipped darkness, glorifying the stars as the "Thousand Eyes of Trell" and dismissing the sun as profane. Their intricate star maps enabled Sazed to place Scadrial back in its proper orbit at the conclusion of ''Hero of Ages''. The connection between this ancient religion and its incarnation in ''Alloy of Law'' is unclear.
