The '''Southern Peoples''' are a race on [[Scadrial]]. They are mysteriously referred to in [[The Hero of Ages]] annotations,{{annotation ref|annotation|mb3|chapter=76}}{{annotation 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 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.{{ref|?|727|79|Southern people are genetic control}} 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.}}
