None have dreamed until they have dreamed of the power Slaanesh can grant, their horizons expanding infinitely in the very instant their soul is forfeited. The Dark Prince of Chaos grants the power to excel in all things, pushing those who serve him far beyond the normal limits of Human passion, desire, and obsession. Rather, Slaanesh is fuelled by extremes of mortal sensation, experience, and emotion. Though his is the domain of decadence and excess, only a fool believes that Slaanesh is concerned solely with the idle pleasures of the flesh. The Daemonettes of Slaanesh are the Daemonic embodiments of both the beauty and sadistic pain that is incarnated in the Dark Prince. The Satin Throne, Verses 1-7, from the Liber Chaotica " Through the souls of your brothers and sisters I take My place amongst the Three through their pleasure I ascend my throne. From his glittering palace in the Dark Prince's Realm within the Realm of Chaos, the Lord of Excess revels in each new sensation discovered. Each sword blow can entice a never-before-heard scream of pain. Each glass raised is a chance to savour a new flavour. Each breath is an opportunity to take in a new scent. However, the Prince of Chaos is also the embodiment of hubris, pride, sensation, selfish pleasure and pain-as-pleasure. Those that most openly express such emotions are often artists, craftsmen, dancers and the more flamboyant nobles of the southern realms. In one sense, Slaanesh is the embodiment of romantic passion and the desire to create vibrant art. And none have more time and wealth to indulge themselves in such delights than the wealthy nobles of the southern aristocracies. It is only from here that a person can indulge themselves in the pleasures of civilised life, such as beautiful artwork, culinary delights, extravagant clothing, and the pleasures of the flesh. As a result, perhaps the most numerous disciples of Slaanesh hail from the more decadent peoples of the south. The warlike tribes of the north have very little time to indulge themselves in their desires, for every waking moment is a simple fight for survival. Unlike the influence of the other Chaos Gods, Slaanesh's power is more prevalent amongst the civilised nations of the Old World. Above all else, Slaanesh guides and directs the mortal inhabitants of the Known World to go ever further in pursuit of new heights of sensation with no concern for the morality of their quest. In the pantheon of the major powers of Chaos, Slaanesh is the youngest and least powerful of the Chaos Gods, for the complex emotions that drive erotic desire, hedonism and decadence can only exist within the minds of intelligent mortal beings. Slaanesh is the Dark God dedicated to the pursuit of earthly gratification and the overthrow of all decent behaviour, as well as hedonism and amoral pleasure for its own sake, from gluttony to lust to megalomania. His is the domain of frustration and agony, the struggle to achieve that which mortals covet. He is pleasure incarnate, from the intellectual satisfaction of a problem solved to the fulfilment of baser desires. Slaanesh, also known as the " Dark Prince," the " Prince of Pleasure," the " Lord of Excess," the " God of Obsession," " the Serpent," the " Master of Excess in All Things," the " Perfect Prince" and even the " Prince of Chaos," is the major Chaos God of pleasure, passion, obsession, excess, hedonism, decadence and pain.īorn of mortal inspiration and desire, Slaanesh is the great muse, the fulfiller of dreams.
