'''Trelagism''' was a religion in [[Scadrial]] before the ascension of the [[Lord Ruler]] and the establishment of the [[Final Empire]].
== Beliefs ==
Trelagism was a dualist religion named after the god '''Trell'''. Trell's opposite was '''Nalt''', and the two were believed to be brothers.
One can speculate that their religious observances, if they had any, were at their height during the winter months, and summer months may have contained many petitions to Trell or attempts to ward off Nalt's jealousy. (See "Geography", below.)

== Followers ==
Before the Final Empire eradicated Trelagism, it was practiced primarily by a people known as the '''Nelazan'''. Little is known about the Nelazan, themselves.
'''Geography:''' The Nelazan were located far to the north of Scadrial, close to its equivalent of the Arctic Circle. The Nelazan resided south of their Arctic Circle, however, as it was noted by [[Sazed]] that their winters had few hours of daylight, and their summers had few hours of darkness. (Had the Nelazan lived north of Scadrial's Arctic Circle, their winters would have had at least one day of total darkness, and their summers would have at least one day of total daylight.)
The Nelazan were described by Sazed as being a "determined people", and that they mapped out the entire night sky. Since the stars were considered to be Trell's eyes, it is possible that the Nelazan did not name the stars in a manner that other cultures might, but rather gave stars - or constellations - names related to attributes associated with Trell.
