Kenton had Dirin to set up ladders to the upper levels of the Diem so that guests and weaker sand masters would be able to access them.{{book ref\|ws\|6\|review=yes}} Later Dirin hired workers to build permanent staircases in every corner of the Diem.{{book ref\|ws\|7\|review=yes}} After Kenton challenged Drile to a duel, in an attempt to find a way to defeat Drile, Kenton and Dirin experimented with different ways of using ribbons to attack other ribbons. Through their experiments, Kenton realized that the advantage of having so many ribbons was that they could be used to disrupt the opposing master's ribbons with ease, and that he would have to find a way to control more ribbons if he was going to defeat Drile.{{book ref\|~~ws2~~ws\|410\|review=yes}} Dirin brought [[Delius]]' messenger, who had come to invite Kenton and [[Khriss]] to a ball in his honor.{{book ref\|~~ws2~~ws\|410\|review=yes}} Later, he brought news to Kenton that the [[~~Lord~~Lady Mason]] had heard of Kenton's antics at the construction site, where he had saved some of [[Trell (Taldain)\|Trell's]] workers, and, impressed by what Kenton had done, was going to vote for the Diem.{{book ref\|~~ws3~~ws\|14\|2review=yes}} During Kenton's duel with Drile he remarked to [[Elorin]] that Kenton always believed that he could do more with one ribbon than anyone else could do with dozens, and that this was how he was winning against Drile. After Kenton defeated Drile and won the vote of the Taishin, Dirin came to get him, saying that Drile wanted to speak with him.{{book ref\|~~ws3~~ws\|618\|review=yes}} Kenton sent Dirin with Khriss when she returned to Darkside so she could do experiments with the five barrels of [[Investiture\|Invested]] sand she was bringing with her. Kenton promised Khriss that he would go to Darkside to visit her and fetch Dirin, who was indispensable when it came to running the Diem. During the journey Dirin tries teaching [[Baon]] how to master sand, and to Baon's surprise, succeeds.{{book ref\|ws3\|6}} == Quotes == {{quote \|Kenton always insisted he could do more with one ribbon than anyone else could do with dozens, Elorin.
