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.{{annotation ref|mb3|chapter=76|link=annotation-mistborn-3-chapter-seventy-six}} The Final Empire was at the northern magnetic pole of the planet, where the genetic alterations made to the skaa allowed them to adapt to the constant ashfalls. However, the Lord Ruler also placed an unaltered group of 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. The Lord Ruler managed to find a way other than genetic modifications or Ashmounts{{book ref|mb6|21}} to help them survive in the world he created.{{qa ref|727|79|Southern people are genetic control|date=20 October 2008}}
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.{{qa ref|727|79|Southern people are genetic control|date=20 October 2008}} 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."{{qa ref|979|13|How do the [southern peoples of Scadrial] use magic differently?|date=Apr 15th, 2013}}
