Trellium, it is athe god metal, ofor onean alloy of the othergod sixteen Shardsmetal, of [[Adonalsium]],a orShard another alloythan ofPreservation oneor 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 reasonable to say it is not [[Devotion]], [[Dominion]], or [[Honor]] as they are splintered. The metal is not of [[Endowment]].{{wob ref|4389}} That leaves [[Autonomy]], [[Cultivation]], and [[Odium]]. Cultivation seems quite enraptured in the happenings of her world. It would be reasonable to guess that Trell is actually Odium considering his history with splintering other shards/working against them on a grand scale. Furthermore, the red eyes of Trell's shapeshifting agents, one of which sought out Edwarn Ladrian in his prison cell in order to silence him, may hint at a connection or similarity to Odium's influence on Roshar, where people touched by his power tend to exhibit red eyes of varying shades. If Trell truly is Odium, raysium would be a more appropriate name for the metal. On the other hand, as the metal allows its user to be autonomous of Harmony's control, it could also be of Autonomy, in which case a more appropriate name for the metal would be bavadinium. Another aspect that would support this theory is that [[Autonomy]]/[[Bavadin]], in her Letter to [[Hoid]], has mentioned her tendency to form new Avatars of her Shardic Influence on other planets, as this is revealed to be happening on [[Obrodai]]. Trell (or a being usurping that name) could therefore be another Avatar of Autonomy.
