Line 31:

The followers of Shami-Amourae are known as the ''Disciples of Delight''. The demoness prefers handsome male clerics. Even after her 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 firmly the Queen of Succubi, some renegade succubi continue to honor Shami-Amourae.

==Publishing history==

Shami-Amourae debuted in ''[[Dungeon]]'' #5 in the adventure "The Stolen Power" (1987), where she had the power of a demigoddess. Nothing more was mentioned of her until 2006, in ''[[Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss]]'', where it is revealed that she was imprisoned in the Wells of Darkness as a result of her war with Malcanthet. Shami-Amourae's statistics were considerably powered down for her third edition debut in 2007's ''Dungeon'' #148, in the adventure "The Wells of Darkness." Her ultimate release from her prison is the goal of the adventure.
