He parted from Khriss after arriving in Kezare. He went to the Diem where he was found by [[Dirin]], who informed him that [[Drile]], the highest ranked Sand Master, was speaking for the [[Diem]] before the [[Taishin]]. Kenton immediately went to the Taishin to argue against what he thought was Drile's appointment to Lord Mastrell. While on his way there he discovered he had regained the ability to master sand, and remarkably he could now command three ribbons. Kenton was named acting Lord Mastrell, since he was the only surviving person holding the title of Mastrell. He argued for the Diem's survival to the Taishin when they attempted to dissolve it. He was given two weeks to attempt to change the minds of the heads of the other seven Professions.{{book ref|ws1|5}}
After he returned to the Diem he confronted Drile. Each accused the other of being the Kerztian traitor. A short fight with sand followed and Drile fled. [[Aarik]] arrived at the Diem, looking for a place to stay after returning from Darkside. The next day Khriss travelled to the Diem to discover that Kenton was not only a "sand mage," but the leader of the Diem.{{book ref|ws1|6}} After explaining the situation to Khriss, he was confronted by [[Ais]], a [[trackt]] sent by the Lady Judge, ostensibly to protect him.
=== Securing Support ===
Kenton quickly realized Ais was, in truth, [[Heelis]]' spy, though he permitted her to accompany him as he visited several Taisha in an attempt to drum up support for the Diem. He managed to secure [[Delius|Lord Admiral]]'s vote under the condition that the Lord Merchant votes opposite, and Lord Artisan's if the diem pays off its debt to them.{{book ref|ws2|1}}
Following an assassination attempt and the return of his old friend, [[Elorin]], Kenton sought out the Lord General, [[Raagent]]. Though intially opposed, Raagent promised to vote to preserve the Diem after Kenton saves his life from a karak. {{book ref|ws2|4}} After returning to Kezare and reuniting with Khriss, the two of them, along with Baon and Aarik, searched the Diem for the missing money after dodging yet another assassination attempt. Failing to find most of the funds, Kenton went to visit the Lord Merchant, Vey, but found little success.{{book ref|ws2|5}}
On invitation from Lord Admiral, Kenton went with Khriss to his party, where he learned that Delius intended to support him regardless of Vey's decision. After Khriss urged him to leave the party, the two of them stumbled on a collapsed construction site, where Kenton used his Sand Mastery to rescue the trapped workers. Having come to a realization, he returned to the Diem and begun to tell the other sand masters that they must begin to mend their public image by paying for their expenses and helping the common people. However, he was interrupted by Khriss seeking to learn Sand Mastery. {{book ref|ws2|6}}
