The Diem refers to both the guild of sand masters and the building used as their headquarters. The Diem is one of the eight recognized Lossandin Professions.
The Building
The building itself predates the existence of the organization. It is made of a single block of white sandstone that is thought to be eternal and everlasting.[1]
Recruitment
Lossandin children who wish to become sand masters are subjected to a demanding entrance exam. Those who display any talent at all are entitled by law to enter the guild with the rank of Acolent, although those of very weak talent are discouraged from entering. Once a student is accepted as an Acolent, they are trained in the ways of sand mastery until they are deemed worthy for Advancement into one of the seven permanent sand master ranks by the Lord Mastrell. It takes approximately four years for a child to graduate into the permanent ranks, although it may take longer for those who are weak or who refuse the initial Advancement.[2]
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. The sole criteria for Advancement is one's ability in sand mastery.[2]
The Diem's ranks are:
- Lord Mastrell (golden sash)
- Mastrell (golden sash)
- Undermastrell (yellow sash)
- Lesstrell (gray sash)
- Underlesstrell (blue sash)
- Diemfen (brown sash)
- Fen (tan sash)
- Underfen (cream sash)
- Acolent (white sash)
Trivia
The word "diem" means "day" in Latin.
