Slaanesh Sybarites are the Mortal followers of Slaanesh. Like their daemon counterparts they delight in spreading depravity across the Mortal Realms.^[1a]

Overview

Most mortal warbands are comprised of mortal devotees known as Sybarites. From the lowly Blissbarb Archers to the mightiest champion, they exemplify their own sins to a horrific extent on the battlefield. Examples like the Slickblade Seekers, the pain-obsessed blademasters of the Myrmidesh and their egotistical, daemon-touched kin known as the Symbaresh.^[1b]

Origin

The worship of Slaanesh often starts with a simple demand from the deity, to pursue their innermost desires without restraint or regret. This edict has become popular and prominent amongst bastions of civilisation. Failing artists, struggling playwrights and overworked citizens are common victims to this command, since Slaanesh provides these people a muse or simple succour. The gatherings of such souls are clandestine, the pleasures experienced in these private groups often start benign, it is a simple reprieve from everyday life.^[1a]

Yet dabbling is the first step into damnation. The first sign is a terrible hunger that can't be sated, which causes the mortal to descend further into the worship of the Dark Prince. In time, no act gives them satisfaction, limits must always be pushed and that drives these damned souls deeper into ecstatic madness, one that they can never escape from.^[1a]
