| + | Kado is a rare [[Kerztian]] spice that accelerates dehydration. [[Elorin]] uses it to poison the bowl all of the [[sand master]]s drink from in the [[Kerla]] causing them to dehydrate and be massacred when they were attacked by Kerztian warriors.{{book ref|ws1|2}} Elorin also uses it to poison the bowl [[Drile]] drank from before his duel with [[Kenton]] in a plot to ensure a weak leader would rule the [[Diem]]. His plot succeeds and Kenton defeats the more powerful Drile. Afterwards Kenton realizes that something was wrong and confronts Elorin. Elorin confesses and in the ensuing fight Kenton kills him.{{book ref|ws3|6}} |

| − | '''KaDo''' is a rare [[Kerztian]] spice on [[Taldain]]. It accelerates dehydration and can cause people to act rashly. KaDo can serve as a poison in the parched desert climate of [[Dayside]]. It is particularly effective on [[sand mastery|sand masters]] since they naturally become dehydrated while using their powers.{{book ref|ws|2}}{{book ref|ws|18}} |

| − | ==History== |
||
| − | ===Kerztian Attack on the Diem=== |
||
| − | [[Elorin]] used KaDo to poison the bowl that was used for a ceremonial drink shared by all of the sand masters in the [[Diem]] during an advancement ceremony in the [[Kerla]]. This caused the sand masters to [[Sand_mastery#Overmastery|overmaster]] and dehydrate almost immediately when they were attacked by Kerztian warriors. The strongest [[Diem#Organization|Mastrells]] were the first to fall to dehydration and overmastery; likely because controlling more ribbons already increases the rate of dehydration, and that rate was increased by the KaDo. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Kerztians would not have usually attacked such a large groups of sand masters, but the effect of the KaDo left the Diem exceptionally vulnerable; nearly all of their members who fought were massacred or died through overmastery.{{book ref|ws|2}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Drile and Kenton's Duel=== |
||
| − | Before Drile's duel with [[Kenton]], Elorin dosed the water bowls for both Kenton and Drile. Kenton notes his eyes were already feeling dehydrated after the first volley of mastered sand.{{book ref|ws|17}} Drile also became dehydrated unusually quickly, and began to [[Sand_mastery#Overburn|overburn]] to win the duel when Kenton began to make a come-back.{{book ref|ws|18}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | After the fight, the two mastrells concluded that someone must have poisoned them hoping to ensure that a weak leader would rule the Diem, or that overburning might injure the [[Taishin]] watching the duel and send all of [[Lossand]] into chaos. Drile mentioned that the only other time he had seen similar weakness was during the attack in the Kerla, and recalled that Elorin was the person who gave out water that day.{{book ref|ws|2}}{{book ref|ws|18}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kenton confronted Elorin, who confessed that he was a traitor and explained how he had accomplished the poisonings. Elorin attacked Kenton with his [[zinkall]] before dying to a ribbon of sand.{{book ref|ws|18}} |
