Shambhala in The Maharajagar is not merely a mythic city of enlightenment — it is the strategic heart of the Shrine Network, a place where time and space fold in on themselves to protect the karmic balance of the Materium. Guarded by the Order of the Green Dragon, it serves as a final refuge for the Qi’tet when war rages in the waking world.
In WWII, Shambhala becomes the staging ground for the sealing of Carcosa and the preservation of humanity’s collective memory. Souls rescued from collapsing dreamscapes are ferried here, where spectral archivists weave them into the Great Tapestry — a living record of what must not be forgotten.
But Shambhala is not impregnable. When disturbances in the Shrine Network threaten its stability, Sheeva stands at its gates, joined by R’luh and the Bungoo warriors. Each incursion is both a test of strength and of will; to defend Shambhala is to protect not only the world, but the very idea of truth.
It remains, at the series’ close, a glowing mystery — untouched yet forever at risk, waiting for the day the veil trembles again.
