The '''Diem''' refers to both the [[ProfessionLossand#Politics|guildProfession]] of [[sand mastery|sand master]]s, known formally as the '''Diem of the Sand''', and the building used as their headquarters. The Diem of the Sand is one of the eight recognized [[Lossand]]in Professions. The [[Kerztian]] word for sand master is '''Ry'Kensha'''. It is led by the [[Taishin#The Lord Mastrell|Lord Mastrell]]. The current Lord Mastrell is [[Kenton]].

The Diem of the Sand is headquartered in a building also known as the Diem. The Diembuilding itself predates the existence of the sand masters. It is made of a single block of white sandstone that is thought to be eternal and everlasting.{{book ref|ws1|4}}
 
The Diem is located on the outskirts of [[Kezare]]. It includes housing for all members of the guild. With no stairs, the upper levels were only accessible by use of sand mastery until Lord Mastrell [[Kenton]]'s order that ladders be set up.{{book ref|ws1|6}}

|The Diem is not well liked here. It is in debt and, from what I have seen, you will have a difficult time bringing the other sand masters to heel.

Public opinion of the Diem is currently very poor. The sand masters are known for being prideful and arrogant. The Diem has also taken on a significant amount of debt while producing little of value for society in quite some time. These complaints have led the [[Taishin]] to vote in favor of permanently disbanding the Diem's official status in Lossand. The vote was declared void and delayed for two weeks as Kenton, the acting Lord Mastrell, was not properly informed beforehand.
