Editing Syll'Esske (section)

===The Syll'Esskan Host===

In the Mortal Realms, Syll'Esske is worshipped by Slaaneshi cults as a demigod that represents symbiosis between mortals and the daemonic, especially for the purposes of revenge. Thus, the host of Syll'Esske consists of both mortals and daemons, who join in hopes of obtaining a permanent pact with the other half. Hellstriders are a common sight in these forces, since the union between mortal rider and daemonic steed is exactly the kind of thing the symbiosis cults are into. Another common unit are Soul Grinders; since the Forge of Souls was not very pleased about Syll saving Esske's soul instead of giving it to them, they have made a deal to compensate that they will always bring a cohort of Slaaneshi Soul Grinders with them to war, with the addition that every sixth soul the Grinders collect do not count towards their personal debt.

While there is little information on the two in the 40k setting (aside from a mention of participating in Shalaxi Helbane's attack on the Ynnari), one can easily assume they could have a similar alliance with Daemonkin cults of the Chaos Space Marines, also based on the union of mortal and daemon (albeit through [[Possessed Marine|possession]]).
