| But this '''isn’t''' Darkside, Jon. It’s a '''new''' culture, one in the process of blending. I wouldn’t be surprised to find a contact language developing--a pidgin between Dynastic and Lossandin.

Professor Cynder traveled to Dayside with [[Khrissalla]], [[Baon]], and [[Jon Acron]]. He and Acron were fascinated with the cultural and linguistic differences of Dayside. When they were passing through [[Ker Kedasha]] he was barely able to understand some of a speech delivered by the [[A'Kar]].{{book ref|ws1|3}}
After losing their guide and running out of water, Cynder and Baon found [[Kenton]] passed out in a tent, dehydrated from his fight with the [[Kerztian]]s, and helped revive him.
Upon arriving in [[Kezare]] the group discovered [[Lonzare]], the Darksider section of the city. Cynder was thrilled by the mixing of Darkside and [[Lossand]]in culture. He suspected that a [[Wikipedia:Pidgin| pidgin]] between [[Dynastic]] and Lossandin could be developing among the people living there.{{book ref|ws1|5}}
The lock on Cynder's luggage malfunctioned and was repaired by Khriss as she, unsuccessfully, sought meetings with the [[Taishin]].{{book ref|ws1|6}}
He discussed the differences between Dayside sand that had been ingested by a [[sandling]], Dayside sand that had water poured on it, and Darkside sand with Khriss when she was doing experiments in her bedroom.{{book ref|ws2|5}}
Cynder and Acron, having found more [[Wikipedia:Saltpeter|saltpeter]] for Baon to use, interrupted Khriss and Baon as she was confronting him about the incident with [[Deral]] and his [[Deral's lieutenant|lieutenant]]. Shocked by what he saw, Cynder dropped the container of saltpeter to the ground where it shattered. Baon then left taking his pistols with him.{{book ref|ws2|6}}
After Kenton "accepted" Khriss as a trainee [[sand mastery|sand master]], Khriss, Cynder, and Acron moved into the [[Diem]]. After they had arrived, Cynder remarked how strange it was for Baon to have turned out to be a spy,since he was always so loyal. He then suggested that any of them might also be a spy. Acron laughed it off, calling his suggestion "preposterous", and Acron joined him, laughing as well. Khriss gave him [[Gevalden]]'s pistol which she had received from [[Nilto]] to Cynder so he could use it to guard her. He accompanied Khriss when she went with Kento to visit [[Vey]].{{book ref|ws3|1}}
Acron went with Khriss, Kenton, and [[Delius]] when they went to [[Lraezare]] to find Vey. He helped Khriss revive Kenton when he passed out from [[overmastery]].{{book ref|ws3|3}}
He went with Khriss to watch Kenton's duel with [[Drile]]. Two weeks after the final vote of the [[Taishin]] on the Diem's fate, Khriss Baon, and Cynder set sail for Elis, taking [[Dirin]] with them.{{book ref|ws3|6}}
