=== The Ice Death (Catacendre) ===
In the north, years after the death of the Lord Ruler, a man named [[Sazed]] took up both of the planet's [[Shard]]s and [[Final Ascension|Ascended]]. Sazed tried undoing most of the Lord Ruler's changes, setting the continents back in their original places and moving Scadrial back into its original orbit, removing the need for heat-lessening solutions like the Ashmounts. This event was known to the Northern Scadrians as the [[Catacendre]] or "end of the ash."
Years had gone by and the Ice Death did not end. The Southern peoples failed to recover from it on their own, leading to the almost complete collapse of their society. The reason for this failure has not been revealed, but expeditions from the south to the north have notably shown that Southern peoples still feel unnaturally cold even in Northern Scadrian weather.{{book ref|mb6|19}}
