The nation of Lossand has eight main professions, which act something like guilds, one of which is the Profession of the sand masters, also called the Diem. "The Diem" not only refers to the sand master Profession and to the body of sand masters as a whole but also to the complex of buildings that stands as the Profession's headquarters.
 
The Diem is located on the Ry'Do AliDoAli's west bank, outside of the main districts of Kezare, primarily found on the main island around which the river splits.
 
Once a year, the Diem gathers at a secluded location at the base of Mount KraeDa to award ranks and participate in contests to show off skill and power in sand mastery.
'''Bread'''
 
Made from the stunted grains that grow in the sandy soil on the banks of the Ry'Do AliDoAli. Varieties include rectangular pieces of flat bread called klam to bread cakes both sweet and savory.

'''Drinks'''
 
Water is the drink of choice on Dayside and is readily available along the Ry'Do AliDoAli or wherever dorim vines grow.
 
Originally from Darkside, grapes don't grow well in extreme heat, have to be watered constantly and need portable shade tarps that are put in place every time the vines look too wilted. There are a few vineyards that produce the grapes and raisins used in wines and desserts, but even these are small and berrylike compared to the succulent fare I'm accustomed to. (I joked with Kenton that Darkside grows grapes and Dayside grows raisins. He wasn't amused)
