The '''Southern Peoples''' are a race on [[Scadrial]]. They are mysteriously referred to in [[The Hero of Ages]] annotations,{{ref|b|mb3|a|76}}{{ref|b|mb3|a|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|b|mb3|a|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. 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.{{ref|?|727|79|Southern people have seeds of Metallic Arts}}
== 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.
