Baon kills two of the warriors with his gun then threatens another. The remaining warriors retreat. Upon inspecting the dead warriors, Kenton notes that they bear the marks of both warrior and priest DaiKeen on their foreheads. He remarks that their shaved heads and lack of armor are an oddity. TheDuring the attack, the others in the group had remained on their [[tonk]]s, which burrowed into the sand at the first sign of trouble. Kenton helpsnotices that Cynder was hit with an arrow and shows Baon how to dissolve the carapace arrowhead with water. Kenton then teaches them outthe tap commands to convince the tonks to rise from the sand while Khriss explains the pistol to Kenton and wonders aloud why he was the apparent target of the attack. Kenton angrily evades her questioning. Two days later they arrive in the city of [[Kezare]] and part ways.
 
:''Two Days Later''
Duchess Khrissalla examines a zinkall they removed from one of the dead kerztians. They arrive to the [[Ry'Do_Ali_River|Ry'Do Ali river]] with the city of [[Kezare]] on an island in the middle. Kenton arranges to sell their tonks (which won't cross the river without panicking) and uses the money to arrange a ferry and translator to help them travel to the Darksider enclave of [[Lonzare]]. Kenton and the party part ways, since Kenton has business on that side of the river.
 
:''The Diem''
[[Trackt]] Ais chases down a Kerztian criminal, Lokmlen, who murdered three trackts during a recent raid. Ais is searching for the man's master, someone named [[Sharezan]]. The man accuses her of being a traitor to her people, as she herself is Kerztian. She catches Lokmlen and the two fight, but Ais is bested. She is nearly killed when a stranger, Aarik, steps in and helps her capture the criminal.
Kenton arrives at the Diem which appears to be empty until Dirin appears. Dirin explains that everyone is at the Hall of Judgement, as the [[Taishin]] are going to choose Drile as the new Lord Mastrell. Suspecting that Drile was behind the Kerztian attack and knowing that he now outranks Drile, Kenton hurries to the Hall of Judgement. On his way, he discovers that his powers are not only back but stronger than ever. He interrupts the meeting and explains that he outranks Drile, but learns that the Taishin is actually planning to dissolve the Diemwith altogetherDirin.
 
:''Hall of Judgement''
Kenton arrives at the Diem which appears to be empty until Dirin appears. Dirin explains that everyone is at the Hall of Judgement, as the [[Taishin]] are going to choose Drile as the new Lord Mastrell. Suspecting that Drile was behind the Kerztian attack and knowing that he now outranks Drile, Kenton hurries to the Hall of Judgement. On his way, he discovers that his powers are not only back but stronger than ever. He interrupts the meeting and explains that he outranks Drile, but learns that the Taishin is actually planning to dissolve the Diem altogether.
Outside the Hall, Kenton dons his Mastrell's sash and discovers that his powers are not only back; but are now stronger than ever as he can now command three sand ribbons. Kenton enters the Taishin meeting chamber, interrupting the meeting, and explains that he outranks Drile. [[Lord Merchant]] [[Vey]] contests Kenton's rank and Kenton explains how his father's appointing of Kenton to Mastrell was Praxton's last act before the Kerztian Attack. [[Lady Judge]] [[Heelis]] tells Kenton that the Taishin are actually meeting to dissolve the Diem, not to ratify a new Lord Mastrell.
