'''Drile''' is a [[Lossand]]in [[sand mastery|sand master]] on the Dayside of [[Taldain]].
Sometime after being raised to the rank of mastrell, Drile was unadvanced to the rank of diemfen in the wake of reports that he, along with a group of other sand masters following his orders, had made plans to offer up his sand mastery in exchange for payment. Drile was the first sand master in the history of the Diem to have been unadvanced.{{book ref|ws|2|review=yes}}
Shortly before the attack on the [[Diem]], Drile refused to drink from the poisoned{{book ref|
Following the attack, he made his way to [[Kezare]] and tried to petition the [[Taishin]] to be granted the rank of Lord Mastrell, believing himself to be the highest ranking sand master still alive, but instead the Taishin wanted to disband the Diem.{{book ref|ws|4|review=yes}} Kenton arrived, interrupting the meeting. Kenton forced the Taishin to not disband the Diem immediately, was made acting Lord Mastrell, and was given two weeks to secure the Diem's future. Afterwards Drile congratulated him for what he had done.{{book ref|ws|5|review=yes}}
Drile came to taunt Kenton when he was showing [[Khriss]] the dueling pit where their fight was to take place, but Kenton brushes him off.{{book ref|ws|13|review=yes}} Kenton, while traveling to [[Lraezare]], tried [[overmastery|overmastering]] to increase the power of his mastery in order to increase his chances in his upcoming fight with Drile, and succeeds, becoming able to control five ribbons of sand, not just three.{{book ref|ws|15|review=yes}}
Before the duel began Elorin gave each of them water to drink from different ceremonial bowls, and gave an opening speech. Drile used all twenty-five of his ribbons to fight Kenton's five, and quickly overpowered him. Drile knocked Kenton to the ground and stood over him, taunting him for his failure.{{book ref|
Kenton remembered his early career at the Diem and how he never gave up and the memory inspired him to restart the fight. Kenton began fighting with what he knew best and had trained himself for years to become the best at-- fighting with only one ribbon. He used his ribbon with skill interrupting ribbon after ribbon of Drile's. Drile grew frustrated and started fighting more desperately. As a last resort Drile tried doing what Praxton had done that day in the [[Kerla]], produce an explosion of sand to decimate his enemies, or in this case his enemy, Kenton. Drile began gathering power about himself, but then suddenly collapsed in a heap, dehydrated. Kenton, victorious, helped Drile to his feet, spared his life, and had a stretcher haul him away to recover. After the Taishin casted their votes, in the Diem's favor, Kenton went to check on Drile in his sick bed. Drile told him that he felt weak during their fight, the same way he had felt when he was attacked by the Kerztians in the Kerla. Kenton theorized that someone had been trying to ensure that the Diem would be led by a weak ruler, Kenton. Together they realized that someone must have poisoned the water Drile had drank before this fight and the water they had both drank before the fight in the Kerla. They soon realized that it must have been Elorin, and Kenton confronted and killed him.{{book ref|
Afterwards Kenton, with Drile at his side, led the Diem in a new direction, different from how it was run in the past.{{book ref|
