| ⚫ | After the attack, which left Lord Mastrell [[Praxton]] dead, Dirin returned to [[Kezare]] with [[Drile]] and the other surviving sand masters. Dirin showed respect for Drile's higher rank despite his frustration with the man's imperious leadership. Believing Drile would be raised by the [[Taishin]] as the new Lord Mastrell, Dirin returned to the Diem to retrieve a mastrell's sash when he found Kenton. Dirin informed Kenton of the [[Taishin]]'s meeting and the two left together for the [[Hall of Judgement]]. Upon learning that Kenton was made a mastrell prior to the attack, Dirin encouraged Kenton to assert his rank over Drile and take on the role of Lord Mastrell. |

| − | After Kenton challenged Drile to a duel, in an attempt to find a way to defeat Drile, Kenton and Dirin experimented with different ways of using ribbons to attack other ribbons. Through their experiments, Kenton realized that the advantage of having so many ribbons was that they could be used to disrupt the opposing master's ribbons with ease, and that he would have to find a way to control more ribbons if he was going to defeat Drile.{{book ref|ws|10|review=yes}} |
