Use the Falchion Posted May 27, 2021 Posted May 27, 2021 Just a random thought while listening to Shardcast's latest episode, but what if Trell is El? I have literally no proof, and this could possibly - probably easily - be disproven, but I thought I'd throw it out there. 1

AquaRegia he/him Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 Are you saying that El is an Avatar of Odium, so that Trell is really just Odium? Or are you saying El is some other Shard, yet is somehow subordinate to Odium on Roshar? Either way, El being a Shard doesn't make too much sense given what we already know about both El specifically and Shards in general.
Guest Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Trell is a combination of Truthcall from Warbreaker and El from Rhythm of War. They're a power couple who fused (see Steven Universe) to make TrEll EDIT: to be clear, I absolutely joking. Not sure if it was obvious. Edited June 1, 2021 by DougTheRug

I believe there's a WoB implying that there's a Trell who becomes an avatar, but the Trell we see on Taldain is just named after the famous one. Don't quote me on that, though. 1

It's an actual WoB, but to be fair, the implication I mentioned is just an assumption I made: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/402-starsight-release-party/#e13324 Who knows what Brandon thought they were asking about. Maybe he thought they were thinking 'this person will Ascend and show up on Scadrial,' in which case 'they're an Avatar' would be "more obtuse" than the direct connection. I assumed the questioner was thinking "are these the same Trell," and that Brandon knew that and responded accurately. My bad
