| Lady Dialla | The Sword King. Before my time. Beyond my time. Where is time, anyway, when you need it? Never stands still, that's the problem! Except if you are Daresso. Petrified with love he is. A love he doesn't realise is long, long, long... gone. |
| Oyun | Daresso? Yes, Petarus has spoken of him. The disturbing question is this: How does a man who, by all accounts, has been dead for over a hundred years end up as a Nightmare monarch in the bowels of Highgate? Unlike Kaom, there is utterly no trace of his passing, and we have scouted every footstep of this mountain and its surrounds. There is no other entrance. No physical entrance. Deshret, and now this... Daresso. Yes, most disturbing. |
| Petarus and Vanja | Petarus: Daresso? He's down there, inside the mountain? Vanja: Are we talking about {the} Daresso? The Sword King? Petarus: Seems like it. But... how did he get in there? He left Oriath about a century and a half ago, hoping to find a cure for his lady, Merveil. He would have had to fight his way through the Maraketh, but... Oyun's never mentioned anything of the sort. Vanja: Maybe he didn't go in alive. Petarus: What do you mean? Vanja: We live in a land where the dead walk and {things} like Dialla live for centuries. Petarus: You think he died somewhere else and then the Beast got hold of him? Vanja: Could be. Petarus: Well, if the Beast can do that, then... what bloody good was Deshret's Seal? Vanja: Exactly. |
| Petarus and Vanja | Petarus: You killed the Sword King? Vanja: Daresso wasn't {actually} alive, Petarus. Petarus: Daresso must have thought he was alive. Vanja: True. Thinking and being... a bit of a blurred line here in Wraeclast. Petarus: Exactly. |
| Tasuni | Nightmare is not without sophistication. In life, Daresso was tortured by frustration and shame. In death, Nightmare has erased his past and forged a dream world in which Daresso would remain contented and loved. What if Nightmare could do that for all of us? Would we really wish to destroy it then? |
| Tasuni | Daresso was always a good man at heart, chained to an eternity of love and triumph. You set him free. |
| Daresso's Salute | "A bit short in the arm, are you? Then you'll be short of a head soon enough." - Daresso the Daring |
| Daresso's Defiance | "When your back is against the wall, And your opponent is bleeding you dry, There is only one appropriate response: Unbridled, overwhelming violence." - Daresso, the Sword King |
| Daresso's Courage | By tourney's end, Daresso bled and shivered. Yet even accursed treachery failed to steal the champion's victory. |
| Daresso's Passion | It doesn't matter how well the young swordsman trains. All form and finesse are forgotten when blood first hits the ground. |
| Royale Daresso's Defiance | "When your back is against the wall, And your opponent is bleeding you dry, There is only one appropriate response: Unbridled, overwhelming violence." - Daresso, the Sword King |
| Star of Wraeclast | "I offer to you an eternal oath that binds your heart to mine; a bond that not even death will break. Will you accept?" - Daresso, to his beloved |
| Perseverance | "Some blows must be evaded. Some blows must be endured. The trick is to tell them apart." - Daresso, the Sword King |
| Ring of Blades | At night, as a young Daresso shared his bed with a woman whose name he could not recall, his thoughts remained in the one place he called his own: The Grand Arena. |
| Combat Focus | Standing behind iron bars, Daresso thought of his adoring fans cheering his name, his wife's warm embrace waiting for him, and of the celebrations that would soon be thrown in his name. But when the arena gate lifted, he thought only of the fight. |
| Daresso Portal Effect | |
| The King's Blade | - Daresso, the King of Swords} |
