'''Trelagism''' was a religion on [[Scadrial]] that worshiped the god '''Trell'''. It was primarily practiced by the Nelazan people before the [[Ascension of the Lord Ruler]] and the establishment of the [[Final Empire]].{{book ref|mb1|9}}
It was created by [[Automony]], as a way for her to seed herself into Scadrian culture for when she decides to encroach upon it.{{book ref|mb7|20}}

Before the Final Empire eradicated Trelagism, it was practiced primarily by a people known as the '''Nelazan''', who were heavily influenced by Autonomy, which led to the birth of this faith. The Nelazan people lived in northern Scadrial, likely in close proximity to the planet's [[Wikipedia: Arctic Circle| Arctic Circle]]. Sazed notes that their winters had few hours of daylight, and their summers had few hours of darkness.{{book ref|mb1|9}} These extreme day-night cycles evidently factored into their religious beliefs. Little is known about the Nelazan themselves. Sazed considers them to be a "determined" people, as evidenced by their accomplishment of counting and mapping every planet and major star in the night sky,{{book ref|mb1|9}}{{book ref|mb3|82}} and they apparently placed great value on the study of mathematics and astronomy--a trait which attracted Sazed to the religion personally.{{book ref|mb3|46}} Sazed doesn't consider them to be very advanced, however.{{book ref|mb1|9}} There were, however, some of the Terris who chose to practice Trelagism.{{wob ref|388}}
