==== Lands to the South ====
: '''See also:''' [[Southern Scadrian]]
Near the south pole of Scadrial is another inhabited continent. This area was a much harsher place to live in, as there were no Ashmounts during the days of the Final Empire to protect it. During the Catacendre the land froze, and remained frozen over 3 centuries later, with the people there only surviving due to the intervention of [[Kelsier]].{{book ref|mb6|21}}. It is described as a cold place of ice, with 5 distinct groups in society, each of which wear masks but in their own way. The people live in towers,
The people to the south are highly advanced. This is mentioned by [[Harmony]] himself several times, as he ponders over whether he has made life too easy for those living in the Basin, thus stunting their need to advance to survive. They are capable of using metalminds without any identity to them, which can then be used by anyone.{{book ref|mb6|21}} They also have access to large numbers of flying craft. Their mining is extensive, as [[Allik Neverfar]] mentions that it is common knowledge that they managed to dig down deep enough into the mantle for temperatures to increase greatly, even on a frozen continent full of ice.{{book ref|mb6|24}} Furthermore they also have access to a strange metal known as "ettmetal", which is capable of storing pure invesiture in it to use as a fuel source for allomancy. This metal is somewhat similar to alkali metals in that it reacts fiercely with water, leading to combustion, and thus is used by the southern peoples in their bombs.{{book ref|mb6|21}}
