| + | The '''Southern Peoples''' are a race on [[Scadrial]]. They are mysteriously referred to in [[The Hero of Ages]] annotations,{{ref|annotation|mb3|chapter=76}}{{ref|annotation|mb3|chapter=23}} suggesting that something is perhaps there. Later, Brandon confirmed that there is life on the southern pole of Scadrial.{{ref|?|727|61|Was there anything on the other side of the planet or did the entire population live on one side?}} |

| + | == Known Facts == |
||
| + | During the [[Final Empire]], the [[Lord Ruler]] moved Scadrial out of its orbit, instead putting it closer to the sun. Life could only exist at the poles, where a combination of the planet's magnetic field and ferromagnetic ash shielded the land from the heat of the sun.{{ref|annotation|mb3|chapter=76}} The Final Empire was at the northern magnetic pole of the planet. However, there were people at the south pole. |
||
| + | |||
| + | These people were placed there by the Lord Ruler as a reserve in case his genetic modifications of humanity failed, such as enabling humans to not be killed by the ash. The Lord Ruler managed to find a way other than genetic modifications to help them survive in the world he created. The people of southern Scadrial will be known by the second trilogy, so they will be discovered by the [[Alloy of Law]] era or not long after.{{ref|17s|2383|post|42360|They will be known by the modern trilogy, so it's safe to assume that a discovery will happen soon.}} |
||
| + | |||
| + | The southern peoples do have the seeds of the [[Metallic Arts]], though since none of them had ingested [[lerasium]], Allomancers would have been extremely rare and Mistborn completely unheard of.{{ref|?|727|79|Southern people have seeds of Metallic Arts}} Also, as opposed to using the Metallic Arts in a way based on genetics like the people of the Final Empire, the southern peoples use them in a more "mechanical way."{{ref|?|979|13|How do the [southern peoples of Scadrial] use magic differently?}} |
||
| + | |||
| + | == Theories == |
||
| + | {{theory}} |
||
| + | |||
| + | It is theorized that the southern peoples are the men of "red and gold" that [[Miles Dagouter]] refers to shortly before his death. |
