The Satin Throne, Verses 1-7, from the Liber Chaotica " Through the souls of your brothers and sisters I take My place amongst the Three through their pleasure I ascend my throne. From his glittering palace in the Realm of Chaos, the Lord of Excess revels in each new sensation discovered. Each sword blow can entice a never before heard scream of pain. Each glass raised is a chance to savour a new flavour. Each breath is an opportunity to take in a new scent. However, the Prince of Chaos is also the embodiment of hubris, pride, sensation, selfish pleasure and pain-as-pleasure. Those that most openly express such emotions are often artists, craftsmen, dancers and the more flamboyant nobles of the southern realms. In one sense, Slaanesh is the embodiment of romantic passion and the desire to create vibrant art.
