Trelagism was a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dualism dualist] religion named after the god '''Trell'''. Trell's opposite was '''Nalt''', and the two were believed to be brothers. Trelagists believed that night was beautiful and daylight was profane. During the night, Trelagists were able to see the "Thousand Eyes of Trell" (the stars) watching over them. During the day, Nalt, jealousJealous of the worship given to his brother, Nalt would shine his single eye (the sun) on the land during the day, blocking Trelagists from seeing Trell's eyes. Despite Nalt's attempts to outshine his brother, the Trelagists believed that Trell continued to watch over them during the day.{{book ref|mb1|9}}
 
Their beliefs concerning the afterlife are described by [[Sazed]] as "almost whimsical," and their doctrine in general was left intentionally ambiguous on many issues in order to allow followers to "discover truth for themselves." Adherents were encouraged to pray to Trell, and believed that their god would respond to petitions.{{book ref|mb3|46}}
