kloutier Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Trelagism sounds exactly like Nu Ralik the god worshipped by Purelakers. Not sure what this means exactly just something I had not seen posted yet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drsabek Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Trelagists believed that night was sacred and daylight was profane. During the night, Trelagists were able to see the Thousand Eyes of Trell (the stars) watching over them, but during the day, Nalt - jealous of the worship given to his brother - would shine his single eye (the sun) on the land, blocking Trelagists from seeing Trell's eyes. Pure Lakers worship a god they call Nu Ralik, but they never say his name out loud. They try to trick Nu Ralik's younger, spiteful brother, Vun Makak, into believing they worship him instead to avoid his jealousy. Nu Ralik can only be worshipped openly in a holy grotto. Sanderson has also mentioned that there is a Shard who's all about hiding... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidus Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Clearly this indicates that one Shard is held by a cyclops. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corax Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) I like this parallel! Though, if the Purelakers have the right of it and the younger was more powerful in the literal sense, that points to him not being a shard, since they all started off at the same power level. Of course, this is on the Timeline of gods, so there could be plenty of time for one to gain power. On the other hand (and this aluminum foil hat is extra silly) The Purelakers are of sELAy ethnicity, and the religion of Trell is called trELAgism... should we be turning our focus (har har) on Aon Ela?

Stormgate he/him Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Forgive me for not memorising AonDor's Ars Arcenum, what is Aon Ela? It may have relavance to what Trell's Intent is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natc Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Focus, Center. It's in the name Elantris, being the center portion of the massive Aon Rao. Trelagism would be a word written in some ancient tongue translated into the TFE era language (apparently a Terris dialect) then written as English, though, so it shouldn't even have Aonic syllables in it any more than "Dominion" contains Aon Omi.
