See a part of me thinks that there is more going on here.
Secret History spoilers:
When Kelsier leaves Leras to find the IRE, he eventually escapes the influence of Ruin & Preservation. The question here is, "Where are the IRE?" If they are off world, Sazed is kind of a jerk. However, if they are actually just hanging out in the sea where it boils in the Physical Realm (which is why there's no plant or animal life present in the Cognitive Realm), then...
... perhaps Sazed's power is centered on the northern continent of Scadrial and his vision of the Southerners is restricted.
My first post! =)
I find it hard to believe that Harmony would have no influence or awareness of the Southern Continent. Holding a Shard seems to grant an awareness on a massive level.
In SH:
When Wax and Harmony are talking after Wax dies, the image they see of Scadrial enveloped by the Red Haze seems telling that Harmony is protecting the whole planet. It would be odd for him to only know of the Northern Continent while protecting the entire planet!
In SA:
Honor and Odium seem aware of the events occurring all over the planet, and even beyond the planet.
In Warbreaker and Elantris:
To me, I'm fascinated about how Endowment has influence beyond Idris and Hallandren. The planet is obviously larger than the map we get in the front of the Warbreaker (as is Sel - the 10th Anniversary maps in Elantris show an expanded world than we originally knew in the original book).
The Southern Continent dwellers seem almost alien to what we've seen so far on Scadrial. Perhaps they all arrived from off world at some point?
