The Saga of the Daemon Princes – Part 10

Title: The Mistress of Spite: A Tale of a Demon Princess

In the chaos-ridden Screaming Vortex, on the demon world of Repentance, the epicentre of madness lies in a grotesque city that squats like a monstrous toad. Here resides the Mistress of Spite, the sole local Slaaneshi princess, an abhorrent devil amongst the fiends.

Her humanoid body, unnaturally bloated with vast folds of fat hanging from her arms, is too heavy to be borne by her thick legs. Instead, she lasciviously reclines upon a mammoth chariot drawn by six teams of six Slaaneshi steeds. Her face, an amalgamation of androgynous features, instils lascivious thoughts in all who dare gaze upon it. Three pairs of curved horns protrude from her head, and a third hand sprouts from her shoulders, a massive claw crowning it. Across her forearms run long slits, slick with moisture and concealing a growth extending to polished bone. Here, her enemies find themselves impaled, staring despairingly into the eyes of their mistress as they perish in ecstatic torment.

Whispers float around the city that the Mistress was once the mortal consort of Nari – the greatest of Slaanesh’s Keepers in the Whirlwind region. Legend says she attained her grotesque form while striving for demonic gastronomic feats, desolating entire worlds in her pursuit. However, Nari soon grew tired of his wife, abandoning her for his own amusement. Struck by grief, the Mistress felt the pain of loss filling her heart. It was then she vowed to share her agony with every living being, first in the Whirlind and then across the galaxy.

Now, she dwells in a state of penitence, her existence reduced to sharing the bitterness of separation with those around her. The spread of suffering has wholly consumed her, and this passion intensifies with every wail of the dying she hears, driving her to relive that perfect moment of agony when Nari abandoned her.

She is particularly drawn to the emotional experiences of a broken heart and betrayal, becoming a true master of societal intrigues through which she rules over penitence. Every fiend in her infernal world simultaneously despises and adores her, willing to do anything to please her, all to avoid becoming her next victim.

She organizes lavish carnivals, feasts and rituals with countless participants. As the excitement at these events peaks, the Mistress greedily revels in the feelings of pain and pleasure, joy and despair. With every absorbed emotion, she grows in size, the emotions transforming into new lumps of flesh on her boundless bulk.

The Mistress of Spite once engaged in these acts in hopes that Nari would notice her and call upon her for marriage once again. When she realized this would never come to pass, she began plotting his downfall. Yet over time, this ambition became secondary. Now, she is entranced by her own might, indulging in her caprices, destroying lives and setting legions of demons against each other for her own pleasure.

In the meantime, she represents a vengeful alliance, a force that has inspired thousands of leaders to acts of tyranny and disorder. Entwining her fate with that of Esi, a demonic monarch consumed by a mania for grandeur, the Mistress transformed into a unique force known as the Vengeful Allegiance. This peculiar affection for Esi, a mortal slave turned demon Prince, has paved the way to her glory.
