<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Nature of Slaanesh"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/31.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Nature of Slaanesh This is why Khaine and Khorne are distinct, for instance.

So, what is Slaanesh? A human-Eldar hybrid? Initially Eldar, but subsumed later by Humans? Does he break the mold of race-specific dieties? He still feasts and lusts after Eldar souls in particular, so he can't be an entirely human machination, or even significantly one. Also: If the Gods must be maintained by worship and emotions - wouldn't his birth pangs killing off the vast majority of the Eldar population almost kill him outright? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526171/5601690.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526171/5601690.page GMT Nature of Slaanesh
Once it's birthed, it's ok on regular, you know... lust]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526171/5601725.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526171/5601725.page GMT Nature of Slaanesh
However Slaanesh isn't stupid. Without a new ongoing source of power, Slaanesh wouldn't have been able to maintain himself as a major power, so Slaanesh has now attracted a new population of followers among humans, but retains a special fondness for Eldar souls due to its origin. Think of how gods were "exported" from the societies of their origin, and gained favor among other societies. Example offhand would be the Egyptian goddess Isis which became popular in Roman circles.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526171/5601733.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526171/5601733.page GMT Nature of Slaanesh
Slaanesh originally drew his/her/its power from the Eldar, but switched to Humanity simply because there are more Humans than Eldar. Eldar may have more 'kick' than Humans do, but if we assume the Eldar race is equivalent to a thousand dollars, and the Human race is one million pennies, the latter is actually worth more.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526171/5606336.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526171/5606336.page GMT Nature of Slaanesh

I didn't think the Gods drew their strength from just one race. Because Slaanesh still torments and seduces humans and eldar, not just one or the other.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526171/5608852.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526171/5608852.page GMT Nature of Slaanesh
She feeds from all. Just like every bit of blood torn from a body in war is for Khorne. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526171/5609073.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526171/5609073.page GMT Re:Nature of Slaanesh
A flamingo is noramlly white...except that they absorb the red pigments from the shrimps they eat...thus turning them pink. Slaanesh recently (in galactic terms) had a rather large meal of Eldar-etouffe, which dyed shim pink.
