Khorne
Overview
Morality, Slavery, and Corruption
- Slavery: Practically irrelevant; Khorne’s followers prioritize battle and bloodshed over structured societies. Captives may be killed or forced to fight, but not enslaved formally.
- Non-consent sexual relationships: Considered weakness; lust is despised and suppressed in favor of rage and honor in combat.
- Vulnerability to Chaos corruption: Very high. Already devoted to Khorne, further corruption manifests as greater bloodlust and mutations, enhancing martial ferocity.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Strengths: Unmatched martial ferocity, courage, and resilience; thrives in chaos and combat; fearsome presence.
- Weaknesses: Single-minded rage limits subtlety, strategy, and social interactions; blind bloodlust can be exploited.
Gender Roles & Sexuality
Gender Roles
- Khorne’s followers are almost entirely male-coded in behavior; emphasis is on martial prowess, rage, and dominance.
- Combat ability and strength determine status; no formal gender hierarchy exists among daemonic warriors.
- Female-coded daemons exist (Bloodletters, Daemonettes of other lore) but are rare and rarely mentioned; functionally, all are lethal warriors.
Sexuality
- Khorne despises indulgence, including sexual pleasure. Sexuality is irrelevant or suppressed; followers are motivated entirely by battle, blood, and honor in combat.
- Erotic acts are considered weakness; lust is taboo and punishable.
- Any sexualized depiction of Khorne’s warriors in lore is extremely rare or symbolic, often reflecting domination and aggression rather than desire.
Attitudes toward Other Races (Sexualized)
- Sexualization of other races is **nonexistent**; Khorne’s followers view all beings as enemies or prey for slaughter.
- Focus is entirely on combat, rage, and bloodshed rather than erotic fascination.
Slaanesh
Overview
Morality, Slavery, and Corruption
- Slavery: Exploitation of others is common, especially for pleasure or domination; hierarchy is based on indulgence and seduction.
- Non-consent sexual relationships: Normalized within the culture; coercion and manipulation are often intertwined with personal power and pleasure.
- Vulnerability to Chaos corruption: Extremely high. Slaanesh worshipers are drawn to excess, making further corruption constant and reinforcing decadent behavior.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Strengths: Seductive, cunning, fast, and elegant; skilled at manipulation, temptation, and exploiting desires; excels in subtlety and intrigue.
- Weaknesses: Hedonistic excess can cloud judgment; overconfidence and obsession can be exploited; loyalty is fleeting.
Gender Roles & Sexuality
Gender Roles
- Slaanesh’s followers are highly diverse in gender, often fluid, reflecting aesthetic perfection, decadence, and temptation.
- Both male and female daemons (Daemonettes, Keepers of Secrets) are seductive, deadly, and socially dominant within Slaanesh cults.
- Hierarchy is based on ability to tempt, dominate, and embody excess rather than biological sex.
Sexuality
- Sexuality is central to Slaanesh. Erotic pleasure, seduction, and indulgence define both daemon and mortal followers.
- Same-sex and opposite-sex attraction are common; indulgence in any taboo or decadent sexual act is celebrated.
- Sex, pain, and pleasure are often inseparable, with extreme eroticism intertwined with worship and power.
Attitudes toward Other Races (Sexualized)
- Slaanesh followers sexualize almost all other races, using allure, temptation, and manipulation:
- Humans and elves are prized for beauty and sensuality.
- Dwarfs and greenskins are fetishized in exaggerated or exoticized ways.
- Sexualized acts often involve coercion, seduction, or symbolic domination rather than mutual affection.
Nurgle
Overview
Morality, Slavery, and Corruption
- Slavery: Rare; Nurgle’s followers are communal, spreading disease and pestilence rather than structured enslavement.
- Non-consent sexual relationships: Morality is warped; acts are often grotesque or tied to corruption and disease rather than desire.
- Vulnerability to Chaos corruption: Very high. Nurgle’s influence is pervasive; exposure leads to physical and mental degeneration, though followers often embrace it willingly.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Strengths: Immensely resilient, hard to kill, patient, and persistent; thrives in attrition and spreading corruption.
- Weaknesses: Slow, unrefined, and unambitious outside of decay; can become grotesquely dependent on Nurgle’s influence.
Gender Roles & Sexuality
Gender Roles
- Nurgle’s followers, including Plaguebearers and mortals, are largely indifferent to gender; corruption and disease affect all equally.
- Hierarchies exist based on resilience, devotion, and pestilential influence rather than sex.
Sexuality
- Sexuality is downplayed or grotesquely intertwined with decay and disease. Pleasure is secondary; filth, rot, and survival dominate.
- Erotic acts may exist but are generally symbolic, perverse, or tied to pestilence and corruption rather than attraction.
Attitudes toward Other Races (Sexualized)
- Sexualization is minimal and often horrifying: other races are objects for disease, corruption, or grotesque parody rather than desire.
- Humans may be twisted into disgusting sexualized forms in ritual or corruption.
- Elves, dwarfs, and greenskins are primarily sources of disease or ritual experimentation.
Tzeentch
Overview
Morality, Slavery, and Corruption
- Slavery: Manipulation is favored over physical enslavement; followers often bind others through schemes, contracts, or magical influence.
- Non-consent sexual relationships: Exploited as a tool for manipulation, temptation, or illusion rather than personal desire.
- Vulnerability to Chaos corruption: Extremely high. Followers are ambitious and scheming; exposure to Tzeentch’s schemes often changes them physically, mentally, or magically.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Strengths: Cunning, magical, manipulative, and adaptable; excels at deception, planning, and exploiting chaos.
- Weaknesses: Physically weak, overambitious, and prone to paranoia; reliance on schemes makes them vulnerable if plans fail.
Gender Roles & Sexuality
Gender Roles
- Tzeentch’s followers, including Pink Horrors and sorcerers, are highly mutable; shape, appearance, and gender can change magically.
- Hierarchy is based on cunning, magical skill, and manipulation rather than gender.
- Both male and female-coded daemons serve as sorcerers, agents, or manipulators.
Sexuality
- Sexuality is fluid, mutable, and often tied to transformation, manipulation, or illusion.
- Acts of seduction, deception, or temptation are common; sexual identity is mutable or irrelevant.
- Pleasure may be experienced, but intellectual and magical schemes are often more important than erotic gratification.
Attitudes toward Other Races (Sexualized)
- Tzeentch’s followers may sexualize other races as part of manipulation, illusion, or temptation.
- Humans, elves, and even other daemons can be lured or coerced using glamour or sexualized deception.
- Sexuality is a tool for power, not a reflection of preference or natural desire.
Notable Cultural Nuances for Chaos Daemons
- Khorne: martial, non-sexual, obsessed with blood and honor.
- Slaanesh: decadent, sexual, indulgent, highly eroticized culture.
- Nurgle: grotesque, indifferent to gender, sexuality corrupted by disease.
- Tzeentch: mutable, manipulative, sexuality fluid and strategic, often used as a tool.
