Among the sailors of the world, you may find rumors about a ship of the most strange nature, roaming far from her northern kin. Whenever she comes close, people notice the odd and extravagant superstructure, decorated with a garish taste seldom encountered on the rough oceans. Eerie changing lights glow and pulsate from her windows, soon followed by the sound of eldritch music, punctuated by cries of ecstasy and agony. A blanket of smoke and incense follows the ship, bringin sweet fragrances in its wake. People entering this magical fog feel disorientated and soon many of them lose their strength and slip into a stupor. Others, however are pushed to the edge and start slashing and stabbing their crewmen as in a murderous trance. It is not unheard of whole throng of sailors jumping into the waters and swimming with desperation toward the alluring floating palace.

For she is known as the dreaded Maleficent Pride, and she prowl the seas of the world, in search of the most exotic slaves, food, material and all kind of material pleasures. Her crew never dwindle for each cultist dying, two of the most arrogant, sadistic or hedonistic people are ready to take their place into this celebration of excess. Until she mets her ultimate demise, she will sail, ever more beautiful and extravagant, sowing the seeds of Slaanesh in her wake.
