They believed Trell to be quiet yet always watchful over them, even when the sun obscured the stars.{{book ref|mb1|9}} Their doctrine is intentionally vague, often defaulting to "Ask Trell, and he will answer", as they believe each individual must seek their own truth.{{book ref|mb3|46}} |

| − | The worship of Trell reappears on Scadrial after the Catacendre,{{book ref|bom|epilogue}} notably practiced by [[Miles Dagouter]]{{book ref|aol|11}} and some members of the [[Set]].{{book ref|bom|15}}{{book ref|bom|epilogue}} Sazed included information about Trelagism in the [[Words of Founding]] and it is known to many residents of [[Elendel]].{{book ref|aol|11}}{{book ref|bom|3}} However, Miles refers to his religion as "Trellism" and his statements regarding Trell do not appear to align with the values of the Nelazan.{{book ref|aol|11}} Brandon has not clarified any differences between Trelagism and Trellism{{wob ref|3183}} other than to say it may come into play in future ''Mistborn'' novels.{{wob ref|12227}} |
