The '''Southern Peoples''' are a race on [[Scadrial]]. They are mysteriously referred to in [[The Hero of Ages]] annotations,{{annotation ref|mb3|chapter=76}}{{annotation ref|mb3|chapter=23}} suggesting that something is perhaps there. Later, Brandon confirmed that there is life on the southern pole of Scadrial.{{qa ref|727|61|Was there anything on the other side of the planet or did the entire population live on one side?|date=17 October 2008}}
 
 
== 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.{{annotation ref|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.{{qa ref|727|79|Southern people are genetic control|date=20 October 2008}} 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.{{17s ref|post|42360|They will be known by the modern trilogy, so it's safe to assume that a discovery will happen soon|date=27 September 2012}}
 
 
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.{{qa ref|727|79}} 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."{{qa ref|979|13|How do the [southern peoples of Scadrial] use magic differently?|date=Apr 15th, 2013}}
 
 
== 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.
