The connections of the Shambleau with the Unseelie Court are not known, and a postulated connection with the Lamias has never been proved. In fact, only the evident reliance of the creature on the Faerie Glamour justifies the taxonomic classification.

There's little space for the aggressively sensual Shambleau in the halls and courts of New Europa. In the restrained Victorian world, the Shambleau would stick out too dramathically, causing too much chaos and confusion, and this is a creature that thrives in secrecy and discretion instead. Players of the Great Game are more likely to meet Shambleau travelling to the exotic and much less restrained Near Orient, where this child of old cities and ancient lost monuments can lure them - or play on their gentlemanly principles - to feed off their vital energy.

Travellers are advised to listen carefully to legends exchanged around fires in old caravanserrays, and believe that there are more dangers in the old Ottoman Empire than they think or imagine.
