Samarkand
Samarkand is a city in Uzbekistan.
History[edit | edit source]
By the mid-8th century, one member of the Hidden Ones of the Great Desert was a Sogdian hailing from the city of Samarkand.[1]
In the 860s, after the Alamut Hidden One Basim ibn Ishaq eliminated the King of Thieves, who had sent his men after her, Murjana informed Basim of her plans to join a caravan to Samarkand and travel the world.[2]
Circa 1235, Qulan Gal, a member of the Mongolian Brotherhood of Assassins, instructed his friend Nergüi to travel to Samarkand, in what was then Transoxiana. He was to eliminate the captain of a tumen sent there by Ögedei Khan to reinforce his control over the city. Nergüi discreetly killed the captain and returned to Qulan to inform him of his success.[3]
