Character Information
Description
Shami-Amourae physically appears as a beautiful succubus with pale, almost white skin and long blonde hair.
History
As one of the first of the succubi birthed from the raw matter of the Abyss, Shami-Amourae's existence predates most mortal races, including humans. Her skill at her "craft" so impressed the Prince of Demons Demogorgon that he took her as his consort, thus greatly increasing her personal power and influence. At the same time, she declared herself the Queen of Succubi and her cult flourished on the Prime Plane. However other ambitious succubi also claimed the title and this struggle, known as the War of Ripe Flesh, became a long drawn out battle in which only one would survive to claim the title of Queen of Succubi.
Shami-Amourae discovered that Demogorgon's twin heads had individual personas, and she began to manipulate him by literally playing off one head against the other, hoping to goad him into attacking the realm of Malcanthet, her greatest rival for Queen of Succubi. Her scheme failed when Malcanthet revealed to the Prince of Demons his consort's true motives. Enraged by Shami-Amourae's manipulations, he had Shami-Amourae imprisoned in the Wells of Darkness, where she has been trapped ever since.
Relationships
Shami-Amourae's greatest enemies are the two demon lords that were responsible for her imprisonment: Demogorgon and Malcanthet. As a goddess of debased eros, she has made enemies with numerous deities whose portfolios include love, marriage, beauty and physical attraction.
Cult of Shami-Amourae
The followers of Shami-Amourae are known as the Disciples of Delight. Shami-Amourae prefers handsome male clerics and the cult sacrifices attractive male humans, elves and half-elves to her every month. Even after Shami-Amourae's imprisonment her cult never abandoned her and constantly seeks a way to free her from her impervious prison. Even though her rival Malcanthet is now Queen of Succubi, some renegade succubi continue to honor Shami-Amourae.
