▲Trell is related to one of the sixteen [[Shards]] of [[Adonalsium]].{{wob ref|8631}}{{wob ref|11251}} The identity of that Shard is unknown, though some are more likely candidates than others.{{wob ref|6261}} It is possible that Trell is not itself a full Shard, but rather an avatar, or some other lesser being, which is merely related to a distinct Shard.{{wob ref|12232}} Harmony used a vast, red haze around Scadrial to represent Trell when meeting with [[Waxillium Ladrian]], and Wax described a sensation of "dread and destruction" choking him upon observing it.{{book ref|mb6|28}} The appearance of red suggests that the entity is co-opting or corrupting the [[Investiture]] of another Shard.{{wob ref|8340}}{{wob ref|12126}}
▲== History ==
The name Trell has been used in many ways over the eons.{{wob ref|4960}} Trell is not native to [[Yolen]].{{wob ref|12505}}
The seeds for Trell's personality began to be placed during the Classical Scadrial time period when Autonomy prepped the planet for a potential later incursion.{{book ref|mb7|20}} Following the [[Catacendre]] and the actions of [[Kelsier]] a group of individuals in the [[Scadrian System]] grew more interested in possessing powers that stem from off-world. These individuals began to research about the powers granted by 'ancient deities,' these groups eventually attracted the attention of [[Autonomy]] who then began using their Trell personna again. The group would later go on to become the [[Set]].{{wob ref|15983}}
The onset of Trell's activity in the [[Scadrian System]] is uncertain, though the spread of Trellism, particularly among the Set, suggests Trell may have been quietly influencing events on Scadrial for at least several decades. Beyond Trellism, the first overt evidence of Trell's involvement came in the form of a mysterious spike used by [[Paalm]] to hide from Harmony's sight.{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} According to Harmony, Trell had surrounded the planet of Scadrial and was laying siege to Harmony's defenses sometime around {{date|340|FA}}.{{book ref|mb6|28}}▼

▲A silvery metal with distinctive, dark red spots is associated with Trell.{{wob ref|8555}} This metal has been utilized as a [[Hemalurgic]] spike in several ways. First and foremost is the strange way that such a spike blinds Harmony to the recipient of the spike.{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} Additionally, the spike may also be used to steal mysterious attributes previously unknown to the [[kandra]]. [[MeLaan]] theorized that Paalm was able to utilize stolen [[Allomancy]] and [[Feruchemy]] by means of these attributes.{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} Lastly, the use of such a spike in [[Rian]] appeared to cause, if nothing else, a level of psychological distress.{{book ref|mb5|9}} It is possible that Miles was spiked with this metal as well, before he died.{{wob ref|707}}
There are red-eyed [[Faceless Immortal]]s which appear to act as agents on behalf of Trell.{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}} It is unclear who or what these beings are and how similar they are to typical kandra.

Despite the religion's mention in the Words of Founding, it is relatively unknown among the general population of northern Scadrial.{{book ref|mb6|3}} [[Marasi Colms]] had a difficult time researching the religion, with few people willing to speak openly about their knowledge.{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}} Several members of the Set, in both high and low positions, are followers of Trellism, and the organization itself may exist for the purpose of serving Trell.{{book ref|mb6|29}}{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}} Presumed followers of Trellism have been seen both swearing by{{book ref|mb6|15}} and giving thanks to{{book ref|mb6|29}} Trell.
Red-eyed "[[Faceless Immortal]]s" appear to work on behalf of Trell, and have been known to visit followers of Trell on occasion.{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}} Paalm also appears to be an agent of Trell,{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} though neither Paalm or the red-eyed Faceless Immortals show any signs of being adherents of Trellism.
