Slaanesh

"...and you ask how I could do such a thing? Well I ask you: How could I not? Once I had gazed upon the beauty of the Lord of Delight, I knew I had no choice. To catch even a glimpse of his immortal radiance is to be swept away by the pure ecstasy His perfect form invokes. I gave up my soul willingly! He shall be my Lover and my Master for all eternity, and I shall be his!"

- Marquis Dolmancé, Bretonnian Cultist of Slaanesh

Slaanesh, known also as the Dark Prince, the Prince of Fell Pleasures and the Lord of Delight, is the Chaos God of Pleasure, Desire, Decadence, Love, Artistry and Perfection. His domain of power is the darkest urges and sensations of humanity, and it is in this characteristic that the Darkling Prince stands alone amdist his Brothers, for his sphere of dominance is ultimately self-sustaining. One day, Khorne's foes shall all lie dead at his feet with none more to replace them, Nurgle's tally of plagues will one day be completed, and Tzeentch's schemes will inevitably reach their conclusion, but none can foresee an age where the myriad races of the Old World will set aside their deepest passions and selfish desires and forego that which they most crave.

Though he is often associated with the domain of decadence and excess, it is only a fool who believes Slaanesh's prowess to be limited only to the realms of fleeting, carnal, physical passions. Rather, he is fuelled by the extremes of all sensations, experience and emotion. The Dark Prince grants the power to excell in all things, and those who serve him find themselves far beyond the limits of all sensation, emotion and obsession. None have dreamed until they have dreamt of the power Slaanesh can grant, their horizons broadening and sharpening infinitely at the very instant their soul is forfeited. While the Serpent is yet the least of the Great Powers, his potential is truly limitless, for it is defined only by the evil that men dream to inflict upon each other.

The Dark Lords are known by countless guises amongst the peoples of the North, and Slaanesh is now exception. He is Loesh the Serpent and he is Shornaal the Prideful, he is Slaneir and he is Slearg, Lanshor and yet countless other aspects and names. The Tribe of the Serpent of Norsca hold that Slaanesh takes the guise of a great snake, and that he coils in the seas around their homeland.
