[[File:DA ExarchDiresword.pngjpg|thumb|150px|right|A Dire Avenger Exarch with a Diresword.{{Fn|4}}]]A '''Diresword''' is a type of [[Eldar]] [[Power Weapon]] wielded by [[Exarch]]s of the [[Dire Avenger]]s [[Aspect Shrine]]. {{Fn|1a}} The weapon is unique, by way of that a potent Eldar spirit is contained within the blade{{Fn|1a}} (or according to another source - within a hilt{{Fn|3}}) itself in the form of a [[Spirit Stone]]. When a blow is struck with the blade, the spirit will attempt to destroy the enemy's inner mind, killing them instantly.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2a}} All Direswords are modeled after the legendary '''[[Sword of Asur]]''', the first of its kind, carried by the first [[Phoenix Lord]]; [[Asurmen]]. The spirit contained within it is Asurmen's deceased brother [[Tethesis]], allowing him to continue the fight against the [[Great Enemy]] of their people.{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|2b}}
