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
== 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.{{
The southern peoples had the seeds of the [[Metallic Arts]], though since none of them had ingested [[lerasium]], [[Allomancer]]s were extremely rare and [[
=== The Ice Death ([[Catacendre]]) ===
Because of this, the weather in the Southern continent became colder. The Southern peoples could not adapt to this change, and many died from the cold. Southern Scadrians call this event the '''Ice Death'''.{{book ref|mb6|22}}
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
=== The Sovereign (12 years Post-Catacendre) ===
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]]
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}}
=== First Encounters with the Northern Scadrians (341-342 years Post-Catacendre) ===
''[[Ironsights]]'', an exploration vessel thought lost, returned to Elendel with a refugee they picked up who told stories of "people of the oceans". The refugee claims to have encountered these people in a distant land when they attacked his ship. He described these "people of the oceans" as a violent seafaring race who have access to "Unknown Metals".{{file ref|Elendel Daily broadsheet.png|text=
The two cultures fully intersected once [[Jordis]] took a second airship, ''[[Brunstell]]'', on an expedition north to find the temple of the Sovereign.{{book ref|mb6|21}} The ship was hit by a powerful storm and crashed near the village of [[Dulsing]]. Their ship was discovered by [[Set|The Set]] and the crew was taken captive and interrogated. The Set learned of the medallion technology, as well as the legend of the Bands of Mourning, and began preparing an expedition into the mountains to find the temple. At the same time, the [[kandra]] [[ReLuur]] was attempting to find the Bands in the same mountain range. Though The Set accosted him and took one of his spikes, he was able to return to Elendel and alert the other kandra of what he had witnessed.{{book ref|mb6|3}} The kandra asked Wax and [[Marasi Colms]] to investigate ReLuur's claims. The two, along with their band of adventurers, discovered the location where The Set was holding the Southern Scadrians and helped one of them, [[Allik Neverfar]], to escape on a small airship, ''[[Wilg]]''.{{book ref|mb6|20}}
== Culture ==
The Southern Scadrians have a tradition of wearing masks, with each of the five peoples of the continent{{book ref|mb6|21}} having its own mask-wearing rules and customs.{{book ref|mb6|22}} There is also a group called the [[Deniers of Masks]] that the other Southern Scadrians oppose, but nothing is known about them other than the fact that they are very dangerous.{{book ref|mb6|21}}
The Sovereign had priests accompanying him who did not belong to any of the current Southern peoples living.{{book ref|mb6|24}} Not much is known about them.
The Southern Scadrians may be the men of "red and gold" that [[Miles Dagouter]] refers to shortly before his death.▼
=== Nations ===
==== 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
==== The Hunters ====
The people known as the '''Hunters''' receive one mask at birth, which is replaced by a second mask upon reaching adulthood.{{book ref|mb6|22}} This second mask eventually grows into the skin. The Hunters were warriors before the Ice Death, but now they search for the cause of the cataclysm that ruined their society. They took an airship to find the Bands of Mourning, intending to destroy them.{{book ref|mb6|22}}
==== The Fallen ====
=== Technology ===
The Southern Scadrians are more technologically advanced than the Northern Scadrians in many ways. The Sovereign gave them the Excisors, devices that allowed them to create medallions that grant the power of Feruchemical
The process of creating the medallions requires both Metalborn and the Excisors. The Southern Scadrians also constructed medallions with several types of metal, granting the wearer several Feruchemical powers at once. Wearing multiple medallions at once does not work, as the medallions interfere with each other.

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]].

[[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{{qa ref|1151|12|Iyatil has Southern Scadrian heritage|date=Feb 25th, 2016}}, it is unknown which Southern nation her ancestors belonged to or where she was born.
