The '''Southern Peoples''' are a race on [[Scadrial]]. They are mysteriously referred to in [[The Hero of Ages]] annotations,{{annotation ref|mb3|chapter=76|link=?}}{{annotation ref|mb3|chapter=23|link=annotation-mistborn-3-chapter-twenty-three}} 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|link=?}} 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}}
==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 is fueled by "[[ettmetal]]." Their airship ''Brunstell'' crash landed near the town of Dulsing, and they were captured by [[Set|The Set]].{{annotation ref|mb6|chapter=21|link=annotation-mistborn-3-chapter-twenty-one}}
==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. {{annotation ref|mb6|chapter=22|link=annotation-mistborn-3-chapter-twenty-two}}
