Provocation Wars
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Provocation Wars are among the many wars the Chaos Gods have waged against each other as part of the Great Game.[1]
They began when Tzeentch tricked Slaanesh into an unwinnable battle against both Khorne and Nurgle, which became a series of hard-fought campaigns, that ended in the Dark Prince's utter defeat and subsequent humiliation. Afterwards, The Masque infamously tried to cheer her master up by dancing for him, but Slaanesh's pride had been wounded by his defeat and he saw only mockery in her efforts. This led the enraged Chaos God to condemn The Masque as a traitor and then cursed her, so that she would be forced to dance for eternity.[1]
