Older than the sand masters, formed of a single block of white sandstone that can never be worn down. \|Kenton{{book ref\|~~ws1~~ws\|4\|review=yes}} }} The Diem of the Sand is headquartered in a building also known as the Diem. The building 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~~ws\|4\|review=yes}} 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~~ws\|6\|review=yes}} == Guild recruitment == == Organization == The sand masters maintain a strict hierarchy of ranks. All sand masters wear a colored sash at their waist indicating their rank. Ranks are permanent upon advancement from acolent.
