Slaanesh planet worldbuilding

Veeky Forums builds a Hive world with massive Slaanesh presence.


Arcadia was a Jungle covered planet on its way to becoming your usual Hive world. It was covered by massive cities and jungle was actively cut, polluted and burned to leave space for more human underhive scum.

Untill some peasants scared by the jungle had the bright idea to start sacrificing people to it. Which attracted Slaanesh attention and utterly fucked the planet.

Few centuries later the jungle evolved and fights against Imperial expansion. Radioactive waste now is something new glowing Flora adores. You cut an hector of the Jungle only to discover a hector of your hive on the opposite side of the planet was overtaken by green vines. Underhive is full of mutant clans and the Governor is too scared of Inquisition to call it for help.

I want to make a world where mutations happened (so it was somehow exposed to Slaanesh) and then life had time to spread and evolve and only the ones that adapted remained.

I need help with how to do this.

New mutant strains incoming:

I'm not a enthousiastic writer of lore but I do have a 6 000 game images collection with some stuff that could help with inspiration here.

>Clan of Olm'Hulud
40k jacked up version of albinos. Those poor mutants are not white, they are transparent. The only not transparent thing is their eyes and their blood, the only reminder of the fact that they are still humans and not some sort of xeno.

They hate the sun. Do you remember your last sunburn? Now imagine it ten times worth and not on you shoulders but on your kidney. Being transparent sucks.

People of the Olm'Hulud posses incredible regenerative powers, they are not fast working but are able to regrow limbs and repair tremendous damage without leaving scars. Despite being clearly mutants the bodies are perfect, Greek statue level of perfection. Fit, beautiful, with no defects. As they age they get no wrinkles, no back pains and no other problems associated with going over your expiration date.

It would seem that his time Ruinous powers gave more gifts then drawbacks, but there is a small matter of Olm'hulud flesh being very tasty. Their flesh in fact is a mild aphrodisiac and tastes like an explosion of ecstasy. And you know what lengths humans can go for something that tastes good and supposedly increase male potency.
Add to the mix a rumor that eating Olm'hulud flesh will stop your aging and maybe give you immortality and many Olm'huluds end their days in a Mafia boss basements getting carved up, regenerating and getting carved up again in an endless circle.

This is why members of this clan don't trust other people and hide in the underhive.

Thanks. I thought a couple or Underhive clans but not much of what happens in the Jungle. Any inspiration and idea is welcome.

So far on the Jungle I have only this ladies


>Ivies
AKA What happens when little girls are sacrificed in the jungle to please the Dark gods.

Greenish skin and no mouth. Can't eat, can't speak, grew alone in the jungle after being left behind as sacrifice.

Their main ability is releasing emotion controlling pheromones. Can put to sleep crowds of people, turn a mob that came to burn her into an orgy or make them shit their pants and run away. Those abilites extends to plant and animals.

Ivies are starved for contact with fellow humans and are craving socialization. Being raised in the jungle and not normal society makes the first contacts end rather badly.

They have no problem communicating with written word except the whole: raised in the jungle, never taught to read or write part, heck often never even taught the language.
If meeting someone with half of brain (difficult in 40k) who would take care of her an Ivy can become a invaluable asset.
The few civilized Ivies like to play music instruments to compensate their lack of vocal expression.

>WIth them being able to absorb nutrients only by drinking, getting lost in human territory often results with a Wild Ivy consuming the easiest to obtain nutrient liquid: human blood. One of the many reasons Hive inhabitants dislike them.

Any comment or Idea is welcome.
Stuff lie:
>This part sucks, that is totally taken from Naruto. I would add this to the snake guys etc.

>Clan of Dei'Gol
People with mouths on their hands. And unlike most of Slaanesh horde their saliva is not acid/aphrodisiac/drug, it is nitroglycerine. Veeeery small amount of nitroglycerine, but if you take a piece of clay and start chewing at it for a few hours...
Voila! Biological, OGM free, kilometer zero dynamite. Members of Dei'gol have this ability since kids and play with hand made firecrackers. And as they grow up the crave bigger explosion.

The ones that survive their explosive childhood usually end up being terrorists. Actually their ability to produce explosives is not that impressive. Most industrial detonation devices are better, but the psychological love for exploding stuff Dei'gol grow up with is something to be feared. No one loves and can set explosion as them.

Mouth hands are not connected to their digestive tract and can't actually swallow. By logic they should not be able to speak... but sometimes... in the night... Dei'gol hear seductive whispers from under the pillow.

>Snake tamers of Arcadia
Not clan but rather different groups of people that had the bright idea to breed toxic serpents form a place that makes Australia look friendly and full of rainbows.
To build immunity to snake venom they started injecting it in small doses. Which would make sense except those were snakes from a planet where Slaanesh "upgraded" local Flora and Fauna.

Slaaneshi touched poison injection resulted in mutations, some of which ended up being weak telepathic powers allowing to speak and control serpents.

This resulted in more venom experimentation and brought forth Snake tamer as we know them today.

They often act as guides inside the jungle as very few things are stupid enough to eat something with so much toxin in its body. Snake tamers wear bulky robes to hide their mutations as despite decades of experiments it was not yet discovered what you have to inject yourself with to obtain snake mind control but not mutations.

Snake tamers ability to control venomous snakes making them to hire assassins in the Hive.

>Actualy not sure if they count as heretics or not as they do not actively worship ruinous powers.

Arcadia is still an imperial world. And drug production is forbidden. Some some incredibly intelligent mafia boss had the brillian idea of moving his drug factory somewhere Adeptus Arbitres would be unable to get him.
In the middle of the fucking jungle.
Brilliant idea.

Let me tell you just a few month later it was overgrown and you had TREES HIGH ON COCAINE, JUNGLE CATS HIGH ON COCAINE, GIANT ANACONDAS HIGH ON COCAINE.

And this is how those TRONFORSAKEN meowing abominations came to be. Those fucking descendants of Jungle cats. Let me tell you son if you meet a black cat with Slaaneshi symbol on its forehead RUN. LIKE. HELL.

>TREES HIGH ON COCAINE, JUNGLE CATS HIGH ON COCAINE, GIANT ANACONDAS HIGH ON COCAINE.
I'm lovin' it.

>Why for a couple of centuries this planet avoided being purged by Inquisition?
Everyone gets their Magical Realm. With a creepy twist perhaps, but still - it's /d/landia.

as in go and take your worldbuilding to /d/ (which makes sense since we are talking Slaanesh)
Or that local Inquisitor uses it to sattisfy his own fetishes?

So far we have only 1 NPC.

A Noise Marine that poses as local rock star.

we need moar.

A lore question:
Deamonettes fade away and die if not feeding on emotions. So if you seal one in a Deamonhost and let her in there for a while she will die of hunger?

Do we have a way to actually kill deamons?

Well now I understand why Prince of Pleasure got axed in both media.

The fauna provides medicinal uses that staves off the effects of crippling morale loss in even the most psychologically unhinged regiment. Speaking of fauna

Worms of Slaanesh

When the daemons fought over the world. One major target was the corpsestarch ration vats located at the hives. Releasing the maggots. The warp tainted energies from the prince of excess was felt even with in the maggots as they grew and expanded. Turning to a pinkish hue with a sickeningly appetizing sensation even among more sensible people who prefer starvation to eating. The maggots were rounded up by the servitors and brought back to be made into Corpsestarch rations.

When ingested by the average hive world citizen it is often described as something unusual as it targets the cravings of a person's tastebuds. One may taste something like Grox while another would claim it tastes like a confectionary. Needless to say it has become a popular rogue trader product and there had been rumors they are using feeding maggots with similar substitances to make more worms of slaanesh

liking it. They even exist a local variant of Fiji/russian roulete entertainment. Guest have to eat maggots one after another but one of the Worms of Slaaneshi has a deadly poison inside.

Been working with the other dark aspects of Slaanesh beyond fucking and sexual deviancy. Now another warp touched fauna of Slaanesh

Vanity's Purse.

Eldar diet is often considered odd as most foodstuffs have some sort of psychoactive agent in them for Eldar to experience sensations from eating the. Before the a Path of Scholars aqualab met their untimely end at She Who Thirsts they released tanks filled with mollusks into the waters of the Jungle World. The screams of the Eldar combined with the warp laced energy thrned these oysters to a high quality asphordisiac but what is most twisted about these oysters is their shells and pearls which have a similar function to an Eldar's soulstone except it holds the vanity of the wearer and release it's whispers to others around them causing their own selfs to be afflicted with similar vain desires to look prettier than the wearer

Some of the cats from that incident acquired incredible psychic powers. And now they go around the Hive bringing forward their cat agenda. Which is getting fed, getting eptted and having the shinest balls on the Hive.

Also Do you know why there are no Skavens in 40k? Slaanesh cats from Arcadia purged them from existence, that is why.
