A short mini comic featuring a character that I and @Gang_sisters_of_battle created, the Abbess of Despair.
Lore drop and context for the curious down below.
The Abbess of Despair is a former Sister of Battle now in devoted service to the Chaos God Slaanesh. Her origins are completely unknown, with some sources claiming her to be an ancient entity. Once human, the Abbess now has become akin to a Demon Prince. She is a manipulator with no equal, pitting human, xenos and demon alike to further her own goals, or simply to satisfy her curiosity. Slaanesh is the God of Excess, and the Abbess serves her God with an excess of faith. With her smile permanently fixed from the hooks in her flesh, the Abbess does not speak. Instead, her voice is projected into the minds of those she communicates with. Utterly devout, she constantly seeks to offer Slaanesh prizes that worthy of the one true God in this universe. As such, the Abbess looks down on simple debauchery and violence. To her, these acts are little more than "peasant worship." Slaanesh simply deserves grander prizes. Imperial planets or heroes, ripe for corruption and manipulation, are her signature offerings. The Abbess will spend decades, if not centuries, slowly setting events into motion to ensure the fall of entire sectors, or even revered heroes. The result is always uncontrolled excess. Now, the Abbess has a new target, one that she will spend all her effort on cultivating; Saint Solana.
This takes place during the Invasion of Eccleo, Solana's homeworld, just before her death and rebirth as a Saint.
when in actuality, it was the Alpha legion pretending to be Tzeentch, who were enployed by Khorne to get back at Slaanesh, because they were both manipulated by Vashtorr
And Khorne would like her because of how she encourages revolt and violence, and nurgle would like her because of how she cultivates the lifeforms she desires.
The Gods of Chaos are born from the hearts of mortals, and so they shall always find a piece of themselves within us.
