| [[Allik Neverfar]] describing the events that nearly destroyed his people{{book ref|mb6|21}}
}}
The '''Southern Scadrians''' are a culture on [[Scadrial]]. They were placed at the south pole by [[The Lord Ruler]] during his [[Ascension of the Lord Ruler | Ascension]]. When he moved the planet closer to the sun, he altered the physiology of the [[skaa]] to enable them to survive the ash and the warmer temperatures. However, he also placed an unaltered group of Scadrians at the south pole to act as a control group for his genetic experiments.{{
== History ==
=== 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.{{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.{{
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.{{
=== The Ice Death ([[Catacendre]]) ===

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 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{{
== Trivia ==
They are mysteriously referred to in [[The Hero of Ages]] annotations,{{annotation ref|mb3|chapter=76|link=annotation-mistborn-3-chapter-seventy-six}}{{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.{{
