Warhammer 40K: The Palace of Slaanesh
Steel yourself against the damnation and oblivion that ensnare the foolhardy who venture into… the Palace of Slaanesh.
Deep within the Warp lies the depraved and dark realm of the Dark Prince, the Palace of Slaanesh
Those that dare his realm risk becoming trapped in its warped delights for eternity. The Dark Prince’s realm is divided into six domains, arranged in concentric rings about the Palace of Pleasure. The palace itself can only be reached by passing through all six domains. Each will test the foolhardy, and only the most pure of heart have any hope of passing unhindered.
Domain 1 – The Test of Greed
The Circle of Avidity plays upon the interloper’s greed. Worldly riches and goods of every type are laid before the interloper, but even the slight touch brings damnation.
Domain 2 – The Test of Gluttony
The Circle of Gluttony is next; it plays upon the intruders desire for lavish foods and wines. To touch even the smallest morsel is doom.
Domain 3 – The Test of Desire
The third circle is the Circle of Carnality, where the perfect desires of the heart reside; testing to the extreme the individuals desires.
Domain 4 – The Test of Power
The fourth circle is the Circle of Paramountcy, where the traveler is greeted by roars of adulation, here the intruder is tempted with absolute power over others.
Domain 5 – The Test of Pride
The penultimate circle is the Circle of Vainglory. The traveler’s ideal self-image appears before him/her. However, if he feels but an ounce of pride, this circle be his prison for eternity.
Domain 6 – The Test of Bliss
The last circle is the most perilous, the Circle of Indolency. It is a heavenly place, within which resides a seemingly perfect environment. Every second that passes fills the intruder with bliss, but to rest and enjoy the pleasure for a single moment results in falling into a coma, and eventually dying in idle bliss.
The Inner Palace
One may walk the circles for centuries, but cannot for a second give into his ultimate desires for he will fall. If one is able to successfully pass through the circles he comes before the palace and Slaanesh himself. It is impossible for mortals to look upon the god without instantly losing their soul, for all who see it become willing slaves to every whim of the Dark Prince.
