Etymology
The name Trillius comes from the Gnostic faith and Resistance leader Aghmundus Trilli who lead his supporters to secede from the 323-year union it shared with the nation that would become Asaland in 1735 when militia leader Sami Al Fayaz seized power and declared himself King. After the successful, and surprisingly short war with Asaland it was proposed that the new nation adopt the name of its most influential citizen.
