	*On 12 August 2014, the ''[[Neopets]]'' e-mail newsletter, ''Scandal in Sakhmet''~~, featured this plot~~.		This event was featured on 12 August 2014 in the ''[[Neopets]]'' e-mail newsletter, ''Scandal in Sakhmet''. As explained in the [[Neopian Times]] editorial, [Prince Jazan]] did not attend the summit as, following the events of the [[Lost Desert Plot]], Nabile is on much better terms with Amira than he is. [[The Emperor]] of Shenkuu was convinced by [[Princess Terrana]] to send Princess Lunara to train her diplomatic skills.
	*Among the prizes given out for discovering each clue are scrolls that appeared as unobtainable items in the [[~~Lost Desert Plot~~]].

	===~~Notes~~===		Desert Diplomacy made several references to the [[Lost Desert Plot]] of 2005. The wedding ring Nabile lost was an enchanted relic that Jazan offered to both Amira and Nabile: by accepting it and marrying Jazan, it would restore Sakhmet and undo the curse of Qasala. The Neocash parchments featured the hieroglyphs first introduced in that plot, and were all parts of the announcement that Jazan's arrival interrupted. Among the prizes given out for discovering each clue were scrolls that appeared as unobtainable items in the puzzle portion of the [[Lost Desert Plot]], and the final prizes included a whistle that referenced the false prophecy puzzles.

			Eyrieki sent a Neomail helping the investigation, but the clue image shows the [[Qasalan Mummy]] instead. This was acknowledged as a mistake in Editorial {{ed\|659}}
