You base your statement as someone who knows the lore, much of which is not considered common knowledge even among the knowlegable characters, let alone commoners.I dont' see why a normal human would want to "join" the chaos if he has other choices. Being tricked is a more reasonable way storywise.
And with boons like immortality etc. I can easily imagine even those who do realize the cost may choose to join willingly.
Plenty of other motivations one can think of, like revenge, or another sitation in which it may seem a lesser evil.
Also... Chaos is not that bad. The game focuses on wars & mutations etc, but these entities are actually more complex and have less brutal & revolting aspects as well. For example, some remote human planet may worship a local god of honour which is actually Khorne, yet they are worshipping a different aspect of him and it just kind of works, without demons or corruption. After all, the immaterium is basically formed by beliefs, thoughts & emotion in Warhammer.
You can get power from Chaos by getting "beneficial" mutations, being able to use magic or summon demons to do your bidding... It's not something available to the average peasant, sure, but it matters for those with plot relevance/Player Characters/Important NPCs.The problem is that as a normal human you can't really get much from chaos. If you are a spacemarine or even primarch, sure. For a normal human if you have the power to get something meanful from chaos, generally it means you can get what you want through other methods anyway. Again being tricked, whether due to the lack of knowledge or being deceived by others, is normal, but willingly join the chaos is just bizzare.You base your statement as someone who knows the lore, much of which is not considered common knowledge even among the knowlegable characters, let alone commoners.I dont' see why a normal human would want to "join" the chaos if he has other choices.

They do degeneracy because they sacrifice the souls of others to keep Slaany at bay, or because they physically need to feel the pain of others to survive. It depends on the writer and the grimderp level. Either way, snu-snu with a Dark Eldar WILL kill you or mutilate you at minimum.Wouldn't Drukhari avoid sexual degeneracy for the same reason they avoid sorcery? Strictly missionary with the lights off for the exclusive purpose of procreation?

Honestly that's 40k fanbase in a nutshell.The sheer ignorance regarding the setting shown in this thread is staggering.

So, uh, Dark Eldar in That which rises when?Wouldn't Drukhari avoid sexual degeneracy for the same reason they avoid sorcery? Strictly missionary with the lights off for the exclusive purpose of procreation?
They literally created a god of degenerate sex by having too much degenerate sex. And they haven't learned! Dumb shits.
I honestly hate how GW treats dark eldar and dark elves. They always get away with everything and never get their well-deserved purging. It reeks of favoritism.

Well there are examples in the lore & books of the whole planets worshipping Chaos gods in this way, and they are basically your normal human civilizations doing normal human stuff, without any demons, mutations or other weird stuff going on. They exist this way for milleniums before discovery and it takes some serious effort to even understand that they are actually Chaos worshippers, which is not obvious due to lack of your typical curruption signs. And those are not even individual charcaters but the whole planets. It ends badly of course once discovered by Imperials, but obviosuly not due to corruption. =)I'm not sure what happens if you worship a "good" aspect of Chaos, chances are you still end badly.
Can we have her as companions?
The problem with 40k is that half the things GW have added to it are REALLY stupid, so you have to headcanon it at least a little bit.Honestly that's 40k fanbase in a nutshell.The sheer ignorance regarding the setting shown in this thread is staggering.
*The laughter of thirsting gods can be heard in the background*This game is already doing more damage to the fan base than GW themselves ever could.

Jae had to learn the difference between a handful of gold and a hand full of gold the hard way, but look at her now! When it comes to trade - she has a golden touch, and whenever she gives you a hand - it's worth its weight in gold.
