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. Harmony mentions in his second letter to [[Hoid]] that he cannot identify the shard encroaching on Scadrial{{epigraph ref|row|28}}, making it unlikely to be Odium, who he speaks of distinctly in both letters, and whose efforts are directed toward Roshar at the time. The color red has often been associated with Trell; for example, the red haze Harmony showed [[Waxillium Ladrian]] around [[Scadrial]] and the red eyes of the Set's Faceless Immortals,{{book ref|mb6|28}}{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}} but this does not narrow down the list of Shards Trell could be, since red is associated with corrupted Investiture generally, not a specific Shard.{{wob ref|8340}}{{wob ref|13074}}{{wob ref|13830}}
