:'''Kenton'''
:''Day 56 (very late)—Deep Sand Border''
The Lord General, Raagent, expresses surprise 🫢 that Kenton would travel more than a day to the border of the deep sand to meet with him. Raagent proceeds to make small talk with Kenton while completely ignoring Aarik, his (disinherited) son. The Lord General insists that Kenton observe the deep sand hunt. Raagent allows Kenton to ride one of the Tower's [[terha]] and leads him out to the deep sand while explaining how the tower uses [[DoKall]] to make them impervious to water. The Lord General explains how the lack of dorim vines allow deep sandlings to grow unchecked, but not always in the expected ways.
Raagent first shows Kenton a place where the surface of the deep sand is disturbed in a wide radius, but points out that there is also a small variety of deep sandling that feeds in schools with up to over a thousand creatures, but can be dispersed by disturbing the sand upon which they are feeding. He then points out the [[DelRak]] Naisha, who are ambush predators that hide below the sand and only allow a small fin of carapace to project above and lure prey. Raagent then switches gears, asking what King [[Reven]] of the [[Taldain#Rim_Kingdoms|Rim Kingdom]] [[Seevis]] has offered the Diem. Kenton surmises that was the cause of Drile's previous mysterious "travels." Kenton tries to convince the Lord General to aid him in his cause, but the Lord General wants nothing except to "hire" sand masters. Raagent explains he's destroying the Diem so that the Tower can add thier reputation to its own; though he personally thinks sand mastery is useless and only good for tricks and shows. Kenton will not agree to his conditions and the Lord General storms off.
