In the fictional universes of Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy, Slaanesh is one of the four major Chaos gods. Slaanesh is depicted, in both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy as the youngest of the four major gods. He is the god of excess, hedonism, pride and self indulgence; he is also known as the Dark Prince or the Prince of Excess. Slaanesh is described as taking many forms, be they female or male, even hermaphroditic or androgynous. In any case, he is always unnaturally beautiful, and irresistable to mortals who view him. Slaanesh is generally regarded as being male, with the notable exception that the Eldar race of Warhammer 40,000 refers to Slaanesh as a female, normally referring to "her" as She Who Thirsts or the Great Enemy. Slaanesh is opposed by the Chaos God Khorne. Slaanesh acts inwardly by enjoying every experience and every act he undertakes- even torturing or killing others; whereas Khorne seeks to act outwardly by joylessly killing as many opponents as possible. Khorne is also said to detest Slaanesh's decadence, while Slaanesh sees Khorne as crude and unsophisticated. This relationship has an effect, in both game settings, upon the nature of the armies dedicated to either god. |
