Trell is associated with one of the nine Shards that were known when [[trellium]] first appeared.{{wob ref|6261}}{{wob ref|8554}} It cannot be Preservation or Ruin, as Harmony did not know the metal;{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} it is also not [[Ambition]], as she was unknown at the time trellium first appeared;{{wob ref|6261}} and it has been confirmed to not be [[Endowment]].{{wob ref|4389}} It is almost certainly not [[Devotion]], [[Dominion]], or [[Honor]] as they are all [[Splinter]]ed, which leaves [[Autonomy]], [[Cultivation]], and [[Odium]] as the only possibilities. Cultivation has exhibited few sign of interest in affairs beyond [[Roshar]] and it seems unlikely that she was responsible for the metal.
Odium does have a history of acting against other Shards and is making plans to move against Harmony,{{wob ref|7319}} which makes him a reasonable candidate for the Shard responsible for trellium. Both the [[
Given that the metal trellium allowed Paalm to operate free from Harmony's influence, it is also quite possible that Trell is Autonomy. Notably, Autonomy is known to be interested in operating on many worlds, and has avatars on [[First of the Sun]] and [[Obrodai]];{{wob ref|8902}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|50}} Trell may be an avatar of Autonomy manifesting on Scadrial. There was also a [[Dayside]]r man named [[Trell (Taldain)|Trell]] on [[Taldain]],{{book ref|ws2|6}} which strengthens the tie to Autonomy; some have speculated that Autonomy transformed the man Trell into the entity now present on Scadrial. The fact that Taldain is a tidally locked planet{{au ref|Taldain}} and that the original Scadrian religion involving Trell, [[Trelagism]], focused on the difference between day and night{{book ref|mb1|9}} may suggest the original religion had roots in Taldain; some have suggested that the man Trell had some influence on the original religion and that Autonomy later co-opted this religion for her own purposes, as she has been known to be worshiped in several religions.{{wob ref|3974}}
