Instead, they were able to dedicate their lives to whatever idle pursuits took their fancy. The capabilities of their highly advanced technology meant that the Aeldari did not need to labour or wage war. As their empire reached its zenith, the Aeldari became lost in their own decadence, for they experience sensation and emotion to a far greater degree than any other intelligent species of the galaxy.
Slaanesh was given life by the immorality and hubris of the ancient Aeldari Empire. The singer striving for the most beautiful song or the warrior who seeks the perfect fighting techniques, both could be devotees of Slaanesh. Just as importantly, Slaanesh is also the god of perfection. Those who desire to indulge in the finest culinary delights, the most beautiful artworks, even the most sensual clothing, could all be amongst Slaanesh's disciples. Wherever mortals are ruled by their own unquenchable desires, the Dark Prince of Chaos is there in the shadows, whispering, tempting, and feasting on a banquet of souls.īut this is true in all things, not just carnal pleasures. It is the god of obsession, the Master of Excess in All Things, from gluttony to lust to megalomania. Slaanesh is the Lord of Pleasure, the Dark God dedicated to the pursuit of earthly gratification and the overthrow of all decent behaviour, as well as hedonism and pleasure for its own sake. The name Slaanesh is a corruption of the Aeldari term Slaaneth ( Slaa meaning "ecstasy" or "pleasure" and Neth meaning "lord" or "prince" in the Aeldari Lexicon hence, the Prince of Pleasure), though ironically, the Aeldari refer to this foul entity only as Sai'lanthresh, "She Who Thirsts."
Its sacred number is six and the colours associated with Slaanesh are purple, pink and black. Slaanesh can assume any physical form male, female, both at the same time or no gender at all, but it prefers male bodies. Slaanesh typically appears in an androgynous form in which it is a woman on the right side and a man on the left with two sets of devilish horns growing from its head. While generally referred to as a "he" by Humans and as a female by the Aeldari, Slaanesh is actually neither gender, combining characteristics of both and perfecting them.
#Higher blessing shrouded in sanity full#
Slaanesh is the youngest of the four major Chaos Gods, having come to full sentience within the Immaterium only during the 30th Millennium. Lust, pride and self-indulgence are the hallmarks of all who follow it. Slaanesh, also known as the Dark Prince, the Prince of Pleasure, the Lord of Excess, the Perfect Prince, and even the Prince of Chaos in the Imperium of Man, is the Chaos God of pleasure, excess and decadence.
