== The Lord Mastrell ==
The Lord Mastrell is the Taisha in charge of the Diem and its [[sand masters]]. The current Lord Mastrell is [[Kenton]]. It appears that in the absence of a Lord Mastrell, the position defaults to the most senior Mastrell in the Diem.{{book ref|ws1|4}} The Lord Mastrell's approval is required for every rank in the Diem besides the first.{{book ref|ws1|1}}
=== History ===
When Lord Mastrell [[Praxton]] died at the hands of [[Kerztian]] assassins along with most of the Diem, the other Taishin voted to Disband the Diem. Kenton arrived in middle of the council's meeting and interrupted, demanding that the vote be declared void, saying that he, the default acting Lord Mastrell, wasn't given enough notice before the vote. The Lady Judge reluctantly agrees that Kenton has a valid point. She says that he is indeed the acting Lord Mastrell and that he has two weeks to convince all of the Taishin to vote for the Diem.
Kenton also had a rival for the position, [[Drile]], who was a much more powerful sand master than Kenton was. Kenton challenges Drile to a duel to settle their disagreement. Drile accepts on the condition that the duel takes place before the council makes their decision. [[Elorin]], in a plot to ensure that the Diem has a weak leader, poisons the water Drile drinks before the duel and so Kenton defeats the more powerful Drile. Kenton asks the Lady Judge for the Taishin to vote on the spot in the Diem and she agrees. The Taishin all vote for the retention of the Diem, and Heelis ratifies Kenton as the official Lord Mastrell. Afterwards Kenton realizes that something was wrong during the duel and confronts Elorin. Elorin confesses, and in the ensuing fight Kenton kills him. Afterwards Kenton, with Drile at his side, leads the Diem in a new direction, different from how it was led in the past.
