=== Relocation to the South Pole (pre [[Final Empire]], circa 1025 [[anteverdant]]) ===
During his Ascension, the Lord Ruler moved Scadrial out of its original orbit, putting it closer to the sun in order to burn off the [[Deepness]]. The planet's surface became too hot, forcing the Lord Ruler to move inhabited lands to the north and south poles. In the north, a combination of the planet's magnetic field and ferromagnetic ash from the [[Ashmounts]] shielded the land from the heat of the sun.{{
The southern peoples had the seeds of the [[Metallic Arts]], though since none of them had ingested [[lerasium]], [[Allomancer]]s were extremely rare and [[Allomancer#Mistborn|Mistborn]] completely unheard of.{{wob ref|6148}} Because of this, instead of 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."{{wob ref|4053}}
Eventually, a man appeared among the Southern Scadrians offering them help. He gave them devices called the [[Excisor]]s, which allowed them to create medallions that granted the power of Feruchemical [[Brass#Feruchemical_Use|Heat]]. This new technology enabled them to survive the cold.
This man became known as the '''[[Sovereign]]''', ruling over his Southern Scadrian followers. He started the tradition of the '''Firemothers''' and '''Firefathers''', people who live only to fill the medallions with heat. After a period of time, the Sovereign took the [[Bands of Mourning]] and hid them in [[Sovereign's temple|a temple in the mountains]] of Northern Scadrial. His priests travelled with him, then returned to the southern continent to pass on the legend of the Bands.{{book ref|mb6|21}}
Although the Sovereign has been rumored to be the Lord Ruler himself, he was in fact another man from northern Scadrial named [[Kelsier]].{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}}
=== Looking for the Bands (336-337 years Post-Catacendre) ===
==== Malwish ====
The '''[[Malwish]]''' wear red masks that change according to their profession or their mood.{{book ref|mb6|22}} Allik Neverfar and Jordis are Malwish. Dancing is very important to them, so much so that they have been known to give harsh (although friendly) punishment just for getting the steps to a dance wrong.{{book ref|mb6|22}}
==== The Hunters ====
One theory is that the southern peoples are the men of "red and gold" that [[Miles Dagouter]] refers to shortly before his death.
It is not known exactly what the "Unknown Metals" of the Southerners are. These may be the 32 alloys of [[atium]] and [[lerasium]] theorised about in the Ars Arcanum of [[The Alloy of Law]], although this is unlikely, as they have never been shown to have any access to either [[atium]] or [[lerasium]]. They may be the [[Trellium|unidentified silver and red metal]] used by Paalm to create her hemalurgic spikes. It may also be [[ettmetal]].
[[Iyatil]] is a mask-wearing woman living on the planet [[Roshar]]. She wears a red and orange carapace mask, which seems to have grown into her skin. This is similar to a description of the Hunters given by Allik Neverfar. Though she is confirmed to have Southern Scadrian heritage{{wob ref|4879}}, it is unknown which Southern nation her ancestors belonged to or where she was born.
