The '''
== History ==
=== Ascension of the Lord Ruler ===
When [[Rashek]] took the power at the [[Well of Ascension]], he attempted to move Scadrial closer to its star to burn away the [[Deepness]].{{ref|b|hoa|c|76}} The planet became too hot though, so he moved it back. Unfortunately, the planet was now too cold for life, and Rashek did not know how to return it to its proper orbit.{{ref|b|hoa|e|4}} So he again moved Scadrial closer to the sun, setting in place measures to protect humanity, such as the [[ash]]. This new, much hotter orbit, raised temperatures,{{ref|b|mbag}} creating the burnlands and scorching most of Scadrial clean of life.{{ref|?|977|151|The middle section was scorched pretty clean.}} A few interesting things survived, but most everything else was destroyed. The very borders of the burnlands were somewhat inhabitable, growing less and less habitable further from the empire, eventually resulting in temperatures so hot that survival was impossible.{{ref|?|977|153|There were groups who would go out there to escape the Lord Ruler, and the Final Empire in general.}} The burnlands separated the people of the southern continent and the Final Empire, as it would take a small miracle to survive a crossing.
=== Final Empire ===
During the time of the Final Empire, the burnlands completely encircled the empire;{{ref|?|1012|9|The burnlands are the area surrounding the Final Empire area.}} bordering the [[Remote Dominance]], [[Eastern Dominance]], [[Crescent Dominance]], [[Terris Dominance]], [[Farmost Dominance]] and the [[Southern Islands]].{{ref|map|Final Empire}} During [[Clubs]]'s time as a soldier, he fought in skirmishes with rebels in the burnlands.{{ref|annotation|book=hoa|chapter=23}} After the [[Collapse]], [[Sazed]] went to the Eastern Dominace to teach the people who were living near the burnlands.{{ref|b|mb2|c|23}} During the [[Final Ascension]], [[Harmony]] returned Scadrial to its correct orbit and restored life to the burnlands.{{ref|b|hoa|c|82}}
== Way of Life ==
Oftentimes, groups of people fled to the burnlands because they were far from the reach of the Lord Ruler and the Final Empire, and so were mostly autonomous.{{ref|?|977|153}} Bandit kings and robber-barons lived in semi-nomadic kingdoms and clans, striking inward at the empire, such as the Eastern Dominance, to capture food, supplies, and rare metals.{{ref|b|mbag}} These bandits were actually the cause of a few successful uprisings.{{ref|annotation|book=hoa|chapter=23}} These bandits were often conflict with the [[Inquisitor]]s of the [[Steel Ministry]], as well as soldiers, which caused the Final Empire to brand most of the people in the area as rebels.{{ref|b|mbag}}
Living in the burnlands was a hard way of life. In order to survive, the inhabitants of the burnlands developed some technologies not found throughout the rest of the Final Empire.{{ref|?|1012|9}} They were also far enough away from the Lord Ruler that he could not oppress new technology growth as he typically did.{{ref|b|hoa|e|28}}
