Stories Set in Samarkand
Samarkand is an oasis city of tiled squares, lane bazaars and observatory remains. Timur's choice of it as capital in the late 1300s and Ulugh Beg's star charts made it a byword for scholarship and building, so stories blend trade with learning. Samarkand and The Amulet of Samarkand carry that tiled splendor. Open Samarkand on the StoryTerra map and filter its stories by any era.
