The '''Nelazan''' were a [[Classical Scadrial|Classical Scadrian]] culture that practiced [[Trelagism]].{{book ref|mb1|9}}
== Beliefs ==
They were not an advanced people, but they were a determined one.{{book ref|mb1|9}} Their religion was Trelagism, centered on the worship of [[Trell]].{{book ref|mb1|9}} They believed that there was beauty in darkness, because the stars are the Thousand Eyes of Trell.{{book ref|mb1|9}} They thought of the sun as the single eye of [[Nalt]], Trell's jealous brother. They believed Trell to be quiet yet always watchful over them, even when the sun obscured the stars.{{book ref|mb1|9}} Their doctrine is intentionally vague, often defaulting to "Ask Trell, and he will answer", as they believe each individual must seek their own truth.{{book ref|mb3|46}}
They were located in the far north and experienced the effects of axial tilt, meaning their summer days and winter nights were very long.{{book ref|mb1|9}} They had a focus on learning and mathematics.{{book ref|mb3|46}} They were accomplished astronomers, mapping the night sky in high detail.{{book ref|mb1|9}}
== Historical significance ==
During the [[Final Empire]], [[Sazed]] enthusiastically discusses the Nelazan with Vin not long after meeting her, since they share her preference for the night.{{book ref|mb1|9}} He describes their religion as "gentle, yet powerful"{{book ref|mb1|9}} and later notes that he has always liked the scholarly aspect of Trelagism.{{book ref|mb3|46}} Vin does not take Sazed's suggestion too seriously, since it was the fifth religion he had presented to her.{{book ref|mb1|9}}
Sazed, as Harmony, used their detailed star charts to return [[Scadrial]] to its pre-[[Ascension of the Lord Ruler|Ascension]] orbit during the [[Catacendre]].{{book ref|mb3|82}}
The worship of Trell reappears on Scadrial after the Catacendre,{{book ref|bom|epilogue}} notably practiced by [[Miles Dagouter]]{{book ref|aol|11}} and some members of the [[Set]].{{book ref|bom|15}}{{book ref|bom|epilogue}} Sazed included information about Trelagism in the [[Words of Founding]] and it is known to many residents of [[Elendel]].{{book ref|aol|11}}{{book ref|bom|3}} However, Miles refers to his religion as "Trellism" and his statements regarding Trell do not appear to align with the values of the Nelazan.{{book ref|aol|11}} Brandon has not clarified any differences between Trelagism and Trellism{{wob ref|3183}} other than to say it may come into play in future ''Mistborn'' novels.{{wob ref|12227}}
