'''Trellium''' is the metal used by [[Paalm]] to hide from [[Harmony]]'s sight and evade capture.
Trellium is a silvery metal with a red cast to it, and dark red spots similar to rust.{{book ref|mb5|21}}{{book ref|mb5|
== Allomantic Use ==
When burned by an Allomancer,
== Feruchemical Use ==
When used by a Feruchemist,
== Hemalurgic Use ==
Trellium can steal Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities and grant them to kandra.{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} Presumably its Hemalurgic ability is similar to that of [[Atium]], allowing the transfer of any ability with somewhat variable success depending on the binding point.
This unknown metal is used for the [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic]] spikes that keep the user hidden from [[Harmony]].{{qa ref|1160|43}} This has a limited effect, however, and any more than a single spike will make the user visible to Harmony. It is an inherent property of the metal, and not a Hemalurgic attribute that hides the user. It is also used to create [[Hemalurgy#Hemalurgic Constructs|Chimaeras]].{{book ref|mb5|21}}{{qa ref|1160|43}}▼

=== Hemalurgic Constructs ===
[[Hemalurgic chimera]]s are created when a living human is implanted with a trellium spike.{{book ref|mb5|21}} Due to their single spike, they are not susceptible to [[Harmony]]'s control.
== Theories ==
It is possible that this is the metal referred to by [[Miles Hundredlives]] in his final words as "the final metal."
Trellium is the god metal, or an alloy of the god metal, of a Shard other than Preservation or Ruin.{{wob ref|13226}}{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} It is not known which of the sixteen Trell is (or if he even is one). It is not of [[Ambition]], as she was unknown at the time trellium first appeared,{{wob ref|6261}} and it has been confirmed to not be of [[Endowment]].{{wob ref|4389}} It is almost certainly not the god metal of [[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. On the other hand, he had always planned to not Invest himself in a planet,{{wob ref|227}} and he might be reluctant to commit the Investiture required to create trellium, especially while he is waging the [[True Desolation]] on Roshar. Given that the metal allowed Paalm to operate free from Harmony's influence, however, it is also quite possible that trellium is of 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 (Trellism)|Trell]] may be an avatar of Autonomy manifesting on Scadrial.
== Trivia ==
* In the ''[[Alloy of Law: Masks of the Past]]'' adventure game supplement, trellium allows kandra to use the Allomantic or Feruchemical abilities of another Hemalurgic spike they are spiked with. They also cannot be controlled by Harmony or brass Allomancy but they also lose their blessing.
* Brandon Sanderson stated that "trellium" is an acceptable name for Paalm's metal.{{wob ref|7776}}
