Even Daemons are not exempt from the Masque's enchantments. So powerful is the lure of the Masque's display, those who see it are inevitably compelled to join in the performance. As she re-enacts Slaanesh's greatest conquest and victories, her mask changes to match the roles of the characters she play. Īnd so the Masque was forced to dance for all eternity, across space and time, for both mortal and immortal audiences. It condemned her as a traitor, and cursed her, proclaiming that if she wanted to dance, she must dance forever more. However, instead of his usual laughter and joy at such a sight, Slaanesh saw mockery and attacks on his wounded pride in each perfect combination of moves that the Masque executed. Seeing the dark mood of her master, the Masque took it upon herself to please it with her most energetic and scintillating dance ever. During the eternal conflict that is the Great Game, Tzeentch tricked Slaanesh into battling with Khorne, a war that it could not possibly hope to win, and Slaanesh was defeated and humiliated.
