Availability
- Requires Dechala — Tides of Torment, available individually or in the Tides of Torment bundle. This pack unlocks her Immortal Empires campaign and Custom Battles.
The Tormentors in Immortal Empires
Dechala begins at the Hidden Landing in the Cathayan Hinterlands. Her serpentine form and many swords make her a fast melee leader, while her faction turns captured populations into Thralls. Choose her for an expansion campaign in which settlement roles matter as much as the next battle.
Pillars of Cruelty
Captured settlements can become Thrall Camps, Tormentors Holds or Pleasure Palaces. Camps supply Thralls but lose productivity as their local population is exhausted. Holds support recruitment and defence; Palaces develop provincial capitals into lasting economic and recruitment centres.
Plan how a newly captured province will support the next war. A camp can feed development elsewhere, while a military hold supports a threatened border. Commit Thralls to a Palace with enough protection for the investment to survive.
Decadence and rewards
Pleasure Palace buildings generate Decadence. Spend it on Marks of Vindictiveness for battles, Opulent Gifts for characters, or Exquisite Spoils with wider campaign benefits. Decide whether an immediate battle reward or a longer-term investment helps your current position more.
Keep the attack supported
Dechala can strengthen the mortal Marauders and Hellstriders in her army through her skills. Her mobility helps her join a favourable fight or disengage; it also makes it easy to outrun support. Bring infantry and flanking troops into contact together, then use her to press a local advantage.
Her recruitment infrastructure differs from N'Kari's. Update 9.0 also revised the Tormentors' Warrior Halls chain. Use the building browser for the settlement you are developing before committing to a replacement army.
Thralls, six swords, and a withheld ascension
Dechala needs Dechala — Tides of Torment. She starts at the Hidden Landing in the Cathayan Hinterlands. Settlements become Thrall Camps, military holds, and Pleasure Palaces. She is a fast melee lord, serpentine, with a sword in each of six hands. The Masque is the free Slaanesh lord from Update 7.0. N'Kari remains the base-game Keeper.
The title Denied One is doing work. She is daemonic in form and is not presented as a Daemon Princess. The lore page holds that distinction. A Thrall Camp running dry is an economic problem. It is not her ascension.
