The '''sand masters''' are a guild of those able to use [[sand mastery]] and one of the eight recognized [[Lossand]]in Professions. They are also known as the '''Diem of the Sand''' or simply the '''Diem''', a metonym that arose from their ancient headquarters the [[Diem]]. |

== Organization == |
|||
Lossandin children who wish to become sand masters are subjected to a demanding entrance exam. Those who display any talent at all are entitled by law to enter the guild with the rank of Acolent, although those of very weak talent are discouraged from entering. Once a student is accepted as an Acolent, they are trained in the ways of sand mastery until they are deemed worthy for Advancement into one of the seven permanent sand master ranks by the Lord Mastrell. It takes approximately four years for a child to graduate into the permanent ranks, although it may take longer for those who are weak or who refuse the initial Advancement.{{book ref|ws1|1}} |
|||
The sand masters maintain a strict hierarchy of ranks. All sand masters wear a colored sash at their waist indicating their rank, and once promoted, the rank is permanent and one may never again advance in rank. The sole criteria for Advancement is one's skill in sand mastery.{{book ref|ws1|1}} |
|||
The sand master ranks are: |
|||
* Mastrell (Golden sash) |
|||
* Undermastrell (Yellow sash) |
|||
* Lesstrell (Gray sash) |
|||
* Underlesstrell (Dark blue sash) |
|||
* Diemfen (Brown sash) |
|||
* Fen (Tan sash) |
|||
* Underfen (Cream sash) |
|||
* Acolent (White sash) |
