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}} |

| − | {{theory}} |
||
| − | It is theorized that the southern peoples are the men of "red and gold" that [[Miles Dagouter]] refers to shortly before his death. |
||
| − | |||
| − | They may be the "people of the oceans" that a refugee picked up by the lost exploration vessel ''Ironsights'' claims to have encountered in a distant land when they attacked his ship, as described in "The Elendel Daily". The "people of the oceans" are apparently a violent seafaring race who have access to "Unknown Metals". These may be the 32 alloys of [[atium]] and [[lerasium]] theorised about in the Ars Arcanum of [[The Alloy of Law]]. |
