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|link=annotation-mistborn-3-chapter-seventy-six}} 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 were known to those in the north by the time of [[Shadows of Self]].{{17s ref|post|42360|The cool and interesting things are on the southern continent|date=Sep 27th, 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|Southern people are genetic control|date=20 October 2008}} 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}}
==Bands of Mourning==
During the later stages of [[The Bands of Mourning]] the Southern People are revealed to have traveled to the [[Elendel Basin]] in search of the Bands of Mourning. They have technology powered by [[Allomancy]] and [[Feruchemy]], which includes invested arm bands capable of granting the user Body Heat, Weight and Connection Feruchemy. They also have airships powered by Allomancy. Their technology is fueled by "[[ettmetal]]." Their airship ''Brunstell'' crash landed near the town of Dulsing, and they were captured by [[Set|The Set]].{{
==Appearance==
The Southern Peoples are humans and wear smooth wooden masks over their faces. The masks differ depending on which clan the wearer belongs to. Allik Neverfar comes from a people that wear red masks that change according to their profession. Others called "Hunters" receive a mask a birth and one upon reaching adulthood. This second mask eventually grows into the skin. Another people called "the Fallen" wear plain, unpainted masks, until the wearer earns an ornate one. {{
