Slaanesh, the Dark Prince
In Warhammer 40,000, Slaanesh is the youngest Chaos god and was born only through the hubris of the Aeldari. Slaanesh represents excess, lust, eroticism, pride, hedonism… in principle, everything that is fun, but in an unhealthy excess.
Every enthusiasm that becomes an obsession brings you closer to Slaanesh. This makes it particularly easy to fall to the god – especially unwittingly, as even well-intentioned and quite positive traits can lead to Slaanesh.
Due to the nature of the Chaos god, Slaanesh’s gifts can take many different forms. However, they are always somehow connected with the dialectic of pain and pleasure. The most common gift is the ability to produce a scream so distorted that it disorients opponents.
Slaanesh’s blessing makes you someone who can deal and experience pain and pleasure equally, often in combination. If you mutate under Slaanesh’s guidance, your body loses any fixed sexual identity and sexual preference no longer matters, only joy and desire count. Your opponents will be the worshippers of Khorne.
Tzeentch, the Changer of Ways
Tzeentch is the god of change, the changer of ways, a master strategist and liar. Whenever intrigue or manipulation occurs, Tzeentch profits, and every lie advances his inscrutable plans.
These plans serve no other purpose than to lead to further entanglements. Anyone who tries to make sense of Tzeentch’s plans inevitably falls into madness.
Every Tzeentch follower inevitably becomes a wizard with immense psychic power and gains a small insight into the grand plans of the universe. Similar to Khorne’s pure combat power, few mortals can match the sorcery of a Tzeentch’s favor.
However, the Chaos god is also the master of change and therefore the lord of mutations. You should not be surprised if mouths and eyes grow all over your body or your head transforms into that of a bird – which can even spit fire. Upon death, it is entirely possible that two blue Horrors emerge from you. Your arch-nemesis is Nurgle.
