During the eternal conflict within the Realm of Chaos between the Chaos Gods known as the Great Game, Tzeentch managed to trick Slaanesh into facing Khorne in combat. For all his might, the Prince of Pleasure could not possibly hope to stand up to the Blood God and win, and Slaanesh was defeated and humiliated by his arch-nemesis. Sensing the dark mood of her master, the Masque took it upon herself to lighten Slaanesh's mood, and presented herself before her master, performing her most energetic and scintillating dance ever.

  • During the eternal conflict within the Realm of Chaos between the Chaos Gods known as the Great Game, Tzeentch managed to trick Slaanesh into facing Khorne in combat. For all his might, the Prince of Pleasure could not possibly hope to stand up to the Blood God and win, and Slaanesh was defeated and humiliated by his arch-nemesis. Sensing the dark mood of her master, the Masque took it upon herself to lighten Slaanesh's mood, and presented herself before her master, performing her most energetic and scintillating dance ever. Alas for the Masque, Slaanesh's humiliation coloured all his thoughts, and instead of his usual laughter and joy at the sight of the Masque's spectacular dance, the Prince of Pleasure saw only mockery and barbs against his wounded pride in each perfect combination of dancing moves. Slaanesh's emotions came to a boiling point, and the Prince of Pleasure unleashed his frustrations on his handmaiden, branding her as a traitor, and placing a fell curse upon her, proclaiming that if she so wanted to dance then she must dance forevermore without pause. And so it came to be that the Masque was forced to dance eternally across space and time, for both mortal and immortal audiences. As she reenacts Slaanesh's greatest conquest and victories, her mask changes to match the roles of the characters she plays, in a manner eerily similar to the way a Harlequin troupe performs. Her curse has brought her to dance for the most improbable of audiences, from taunting the servants of the Blood God at the very doors of Khorne's citadel, to humiliating her former lesser peers amongst the Daemonettes. Yet the Masque has turned Slaanesh's curse to her advantage: the lure of her masterful display is so enticing that any who see it are inevitably compelled to join in the performance. Even other daemons are not exempt from the Masque's enchantments. As her dance goes on, the tempo rises, with the Masque's unwitting chorus struggling desperately to keep up with her. Ultimately, those enticed by her spell will dance themselves to death, using up their last ounce of strength and dying breath in an attempt to keep pace with her twirls and somersaults.
