Slaanesh is the youngest of the Chaos gods and is known as the Prince of Chaos. Of all the Dark Gods, he alone is divinely beautiful. Slaanesh is seductive as only an immortal can be, disarming in his innocence, utterly beguiling in his manner. He is drawn to mortals possessed of physical beauty and charm. All the sensual pleasures of art, music and companionship fascinate Slaanesh. He is master of luxury and indulgence, of cruel passions and hidden vices, and of the terrible temptations that only a god can offer.
In bodily form Slaanesh is perfection: long- limbed and elegant, with a haunting androgynous beauty. It is said that it is impossible for a mortal to look upon that divine face without losing his soul, for all who see Slaanesh become slaves to his slightest whim. Some say that Slaanesh can assume male, female or, hermaphrodite form at will, but to his followers he manifests himself as a young man, clean limbed and fresh with the vigour of youth. Though Slaanesh is the least of the Dark Gods of Chaos, he is an important player in the divine game. His support is an essential part of any alliance between the Chaos gods. The favour of Slaanesh can easily swing the balance of power between the gods, giving Slaanesh an influence disproportionate to his power. Nonetheless, the power of Slaanesh is growing all the time. Soon the Prince of Chaos will come to rival the other gods and, who knows, even rise above them. |
