Saleh, the Electrum City of Warriors and the City of the Thamudians, was an ancient city-state in the Land of Lower Setekh, Great Red Sand, Sumeru. It rose after the fall of King Deshret's civilization and after the initial fall of Gurabad, Saleh became known as one of the Cities of the Seven Towers.
Saleh was located around Thamud Oasis.[1]
History[]
The city of Saleh was home to a group known as the Thamudians, who were known for their golden eyes.[1]
Saleh was originally ruled by a Khaganate, of which Turan is the first named Khagan to appear in historical records.[2] Turan became a minister for Shah Ramshahr, the king of kings in their era. After Ramshahr's death, his young son Artaxir took the throne but later died, with Turan accused of his death in an inscription. Turan became regent and ruled over the region, only for him and his three sons to all be later executed. Turan's successor, King Humayun of Tulaytullah, was later decapitated himself at Saleh during an event known as the Jinn Uprising.[3]
After several generations, Saleh fell under Badanah's rule. Badanah was assassinated by Faramarz and Makhaira, and after several power shifts and Faramarz's third ascension to the throne, the people of Saleh attempted to rebel "again" (suggesting that they had previously rebelled at some point) and tried to establish a new Khagan. They were appeased by Makhaira.[4]

According to the Quran, the people of Thamud rejected Saleh's prophecies and were destroyed by God for their attempts to kill him.
- Electrum is a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver which is known for its usage in pyramids and obelisks during the Old Kingdom of Egypt. It was also historically used as a coinage metal. Electrum's color is typically described as "white gold" or "pale gold."
