Slaanesh (also known as The Prince of Excess, and known to the Eldar by various cryptic titles including The Great Enemy and She Who Thirsts) is the chaos god of pleasure, both simple and extreme, sublime and depraved. Slaanesh is the god of lust, joy, hedonism, sadism, artistry, and ecstasy. Widely regarded as the weakest of the chaos gods, Slaanesh is the arch-rival of Khorne.

History

Slaanesh was born out of the Fall of the Eldar civilization, when the majority of their population followed a downward spiral of decadent excesses to its bitter end. As they pursued ever more perverse pleasures, their psychic influence in the Warp coalesced into a powerful new consciousness. The awakening of this new chaos god sent shockwaves throughout the Warp, disrupting interstellar travel across the galaxy, ripping the boundary between the Warp and normal space asunder, and extinguishing the lives of most of the Eldar race in the blink of an eye.
