​

As Rum Mehmed Pasha has been cast, I think we also need some  Karamanid characters such as  Pir Ahmed Bey and Kasım Bey.

Season 4 could start with the open-field battle between the Ottomans and Karamanids, almost like how Season 1 opened with a major battle.

After the Ottoman victory, Pir Ahmed escapes.

Mehmed enters Konya and appoints Şehzade Mustafa as its sanjak bey, while Mahmud Pasha is tasked with pursuing Pir Ahmed.

Mahmud Pasha eventually returns and reports that Pir Ahmed managed to escape.

Mehmed then returns to Constantinople. Before returning, he gives Mahmud Pasha another assignment: resettling people from the conquered Karamanid territories in Istanbul.

But this is where Rum Mehmed Pasha's rise could begin.

Rum Mehmed Pasha accuses Mahmud Pasha of not being harsh enough in carrying out the deportation of several hundred households from the conquered territories for the repopulation of Istanbul.

Rum Mehmed Pasha then takes over the operation and ruthlessly completes the deportations.

As a result, Mahmud Pasha is dismissed, while Rum Mehmed Pasha rises in influence.

This would give us a really interesting chain of events all stemming from the same Karaman campaign:

Karaman victory → Pir Ahmed escapes → Mustafa appointed in Konya → Mahmud Pasha fails to capture Pir Ahmed → resettlement order → Rum Mehmed Pasha's accusation → Mahmud's dismissal → Rum Mehmed Pasha's rise.

And importantly, it would give Mustafa a meaningful political and military role from the very beginning of the season, rather than already showing him as governor of Konya.

Hey guys,

So, if Season 4 is set in the 1470s, do you think they will show Bayezid's sons and their mothers?

From what I found:

- Şehzade Abdullah (born 1465) — mother: Şirin Hatun

- Şehzade Ahmed (born 1466) — mother: Bülbül Hatun

- Şehzade Korkut (born 1469) — mother: Nigar Hatun

- Şehzade Şehinşah (born 1470) — mother: Hüsnüşah Hatun

- Şehzade Selim (born 1470) — mother: Gülbahar Hatun

Most of Bayezid's other children were born after 1475.

Do you think the show will introduce or mention these mothers and princes?

Season 3

Season 3 begins similarly to the original series. Ertuğrul has settled in Söğüt, but his tribe is suffering from famine.

Hanlı Pazar is transformed into Söğüt Pazar/Town, although its storyline remains largely similar to the original. The Çavdar tribe is reimagined as the Çavdar Tatars, but the characters remain the same.

Ural secretly organizes raids on caravans and trade routes, inspired by the historical accounts of the Çavdar Tatars' raiding activities. Behind these attacks stands Alişir of Karahisar, who replaces Sadettin Köpek as the main political antagonist of the season.

Alişir dreams of conquering Karacahisar, increasing his reputation, and eventually becoming the dominant frontier lord (Uç Bey) of the region. However, Karacahisar is already at peace with the Seljuk Sultanate and pays its taxes regularly. Since Alişir cannot openly attack the castle, he seeks to provoke a conflict that will break the peace.

To achieve this, he secretly persuades the Çavdar Tatars to raid caravans traveling between Söğüt Pazar and Karacahisar. His goal is to destabilize the region and create a situation that could eventually lead to war.

Ertuğrul takes action and secures the trade routes from the raiders, although he does not yet discover that Ural is responsible. He also captures and secures Söğüt Pazar, increasing his prestige throughout the frontier.

This is where Ertuğrul becomes the enemy of both Ural and Alişir. Their alliance grows stronger as they begin plotting his downfall.

Cavdar Tatar and pazar stories same like original to the end

Later, the Karacahisar storyline begins. As in the original series, the old Tekfur is killed by his commander, who seizes power and becomes the new ruler of Karacahisar. Unlike his predecessor, the new Tekfur breaks the peace agreement with the Seljuks.

Alişir realizes that Ertuğrul now has a legitimate reason to conquer Karacahisar. Not wanting Ertuğrul to gain such a major victory, he secretly leaks critical information to the Tekfur and works behind the scenes to sabotage Ertuğrul's plans.

Following the historical tradition, Ertuğrul informs Sultan Alaeddin that Karacahisar has broken the peace and is disturbing the frontier. Sultan Alaeddin personally launches a campaign against the castle. However, before the siege can be completed, news arrives that the Bayındır Tatars have violated their agreement and launched attacks elsewhere.

The Sultan is forced to leave the campaign and appoints Ertuğrul as commander of the siege. He leaves part of the Seljuk army under Gonalp Bey to support him. Ertuğrul also orders Turgut to accompany the Sultan.

Ertuğrul successfully conquers Karacahisar and sends one-fifth of the spoils to Sultan Alaeddin through Gonalp Bey

At the end of the season, Ertuğrul is ambushed and severely wounded, similar to the ending of the original Season 3, setting up the events of Season 4.

Season 1

Season 2

A few months have passed since the events of Season 1.

Ertuğrul and his tribe are encamped near Sivas. One day, he witnesses a battle between two armies. Seeing one side on the verge of defeat, he decides to intervene and help them.

After the battle, Ertuğrul learns that the losing side was a different branch of the Kayı tribe, led by the Yaman Candar family. Grateful for Ertuğrul's help, they invite him to their tribe in Karacadağ.

Ertuğrul explains that his goal is to obtain land on the western frontier and permanently settle there. The Yaman Candar Bey agrees to help him seek permission from Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad.

However, the Sultan decides to test Ertuğrul first. Before granting any land, he gives him a mission: eliminate the threat of the Bayındır Tatars.

Interestingly, the Bayındır Tatars are the same force that the Yaman Candar Kayı branch was fighting when Ertuğrul first arrived.

As a result, Ertuğrul's tribe settles temporarily among the Karacadağ Kayı branch while preparing for this campaign.

The Karacadağ Kayı Branch

The bey of this tribe is the son of Hayme Ana's sister and an ancestor of the future Candar Beylik.

Historically, the Candar Beylik was also Kayı.

The bey has two sons:

- Alparslan Yaman Candar Mehmed Bey (future father of Şemseddin Yaman Candar, founder of the Candar Beylik)

- A fictional son, elder brother of alparsalan , who takes the role originally filled by Tuğtekin

Aytolun Hatun is the mother of Alparslan.

The Bayındır Tatars

Historically, the Bayındır Tatars caused problems for Sultan Alaeddin.

For this rewrite, they are allied with the Mongols. A Mongol commander has been appointed over them to wage war against the Seljuks.

This commander fills a role similar to Noyan from the original series, though he is an entirely fictional character.

Original Version vs My Version

- Dodurga Tribe → Karacadağ Kayı Branch

- Noyan → Bayındır Tatar Commander

- Tuğtekin → Alparslan's fictional elder brother

- Aytolun → Mother of Alparslan

The End of the Bayındır Conflict

After Ertuğrul defeats the Bayındır commander, a more reasonable leader is appointed over the tribe, and a peace agreement is established.

With this threat removed, the story moves toward a major historical event.

Battle of Yassıçemen

Jalal al-Din Khwarazmshah captures Ahlat, an Ayyubid city.

In response, the Seljuks and Ayyubids form an alliance and march against him.

Ertuğrul joins the campaign.

During the war, he unexpectedly discovers that Gündoğdu is fighting on the Ayyubid side.

I am including Ertuğrul and Gündoğdu in this battle because some sources mention their participation in the Battle of Yassıçemen.

Finale

Following the campaign, Sultan Alaeddin rewards Ertuğrul with land around Söğüt.

Ertuğrul leaves Karacadağ and moves his tribe to their permanent homeland on the frontier.

The season ends with Ertuğrul and his tribe migrating towards Söğüt.

Wait for Season 3.

If you have any better ideas or historical corrections, feel free to share them.

Hey guys,

I’ve been thinking about how I’d rewrite Diriliş: Ertuğrul if I was on the writing team. I wouldn’t really change the whole story, just make it a bit closer to history while still keeping the drama and excitement.

Season 1

Everything stays the same,

but in the middle or near the end of the season,

Songurtegin comes with the news that Genghis Khan has died and a civil war has started.

Songurtegin’s backstory: he got separated during the Kayi migration because of the Mongol invasion, and later he started working for Sultan Alaeddin as a spy inside the Mongols.

Since the Mongols are now fighting each other for the throne, the threat is basically gone. So Gündoğdu wants to go back to Ahlat (that’s where they used to live for a long time).

He thinks big empires don’t survive civil wars, so the Mongol danger is over for now.

But Ertuğrul thinks differently. He says they shouldn’t relax.

He wants to go to Western Anatolia, fight the Byzantines, and build a state there. He believes the Mongols will come back again someday, and they can’t really handle them directly, but they can deal with Byzantium.

Gündoğdu doesn’t want to go to an unfamiliar land. He says even if the Mongols come back, they’ll be ready this time. He also thinks they should support Jalaluddin and try to build good relations with the Khwarazm, Ayyubids, and Seljuks. He really admires Jalaluddin.

But Ertuğrul says Jalaluddin has changed and isn’t the same person anymore.

He also says if they go back to Ahlat, they’ll just keep migrating again and again. They need to settle somewhere for good.

Ertuğrul wants to build a state because if these big empires fall, someone has to be there to take over and rebuild.

Suleiman Shah decides to make the final call after the Templar campaign, but he dies on the way back. After that, the Kayi tribe splits.

Ertuğrul leaves for the west with 400 people, and Gündoğdu goes east with 1000.

And that’s how the season ends.

Wait for Season 2...

If you have any better ideas, suggestions, or historical corrections, please let me know in the comments. I'd love to hear your thoughts

Can anyone remind me?

Where was the Dodurga tribe in Season 2?

What was the reason for the Kayı tribe's division?

Why did Gündoğdu want to go to Ahlat?

Why did he think it was a safe place?

I'm confused because Ahlat was closer to the Mongols, and it was on the border of the Ayyubid lands. So why did Gündoğdu think it was safer?

Should I do an ADP in Computer Science from Riphah College and then continue with a BS CS (lateral entry) at Riphah University?

Is this possible? Does Riphah University accept ADP graduates for lateral entry into the BS CS program?

Right now, I can't afford Riphah University, and my intermediate marks aren't good enough for admission to a government university.

Guys, the Isfendiyar campaign shown in MFS wasn't historically accurate.

​

This post is not meant as criticism, it's just my rewrite.

​

Before I start, first read these 3 posts to understand the actual history:

​

https://www.reddit.com/r/ertugrul/s/FJOOFr96h1

​

https://www.reddit.com/r/ertugrul/s/Iqd5B2BDax

​

https://www.reddit.com/r/ertugrul/s/yGkFPqeyKx

​

As you can see, when the campaign started, Karaman sent one of his sons with troops, and the ruler of Isfendiyar at that time was Ismail Bey.

​

So, let's start.

​

Everything remains the same, just few changes

​

when Karamanoglu Suleiman ambushed Bayezid, he pretended to be Hasan Bey, the son of Kasim Bey of the Isfendiyarids.

​

When the campaign started, Mahmud Pasha ordered Ismail Bey to send his son. Ismail Bey did so, and then Mahmud Pasha captured Hasan Bey , just as happened in history .

​

On the other hand, Karamanoglu Ibrahim Bey found out that Suleiman had attacked Bayezid while disguised as an Isfendiyarid. Because of this, he punished Suleiman by sending him to Mehmed. He sent Suleiman along with troops to help Mehmed and to ask for forgiveness, because they had initially believed that Bayezid had killed the daughter of the Emperor of Trabzon.

​

However, Mehmed received him with honor, granted him a hilat, and sent him back, just as happened in history.

​

Later, when Bayezid arrived to take his revenge, but after seeing Hasan Bey, he said that he was not the one who tried to kill him.

​

So, how is my rewrite?

​

And can someone make a scenario of how Bayezid would find out that it was Suleiman who tried to kill him?

Hey guyz,

In UBS, they just show one Byzantine castle, and in the entire season they only conquer one castle: Kuvel Castle.

So, was this castle historically captured by Melikshah?

If yes, in which year was it captured?

And were the tekfurs of that castle shown in the series historical?

Deserving

Hey everyone,

I’m setting up a domain email for my project and I planned to use Zoho Mail because it seems affordable and reliable.

But after doing some research, I’ve seen multiple people say that even after properly configuring DNS (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), when they forward emails from Zoho to Gmail, the messages still sometimes land in the spam folder.

Now I’m a bit confused about what to do next.

So I want to ask:

Is Zoho Mail actually good if I use it without forwarding emails to Gmail?

Or is this spam issue mainly caused by forwarding (not Zoho itself)?

If I need to read emails inside Gmail, what’s the best setup to avoid spam problems?

Would Google Workspace be the only “clean” solution, or are there better alternatives?

I’m trying to avoid deliverability issues because this is for a serious domain email setup.

Any real experience or advice would help a lot.

Guys, I am setting up a domain email. I have purchased a domain from GoDaddy, and now I am planning where to get email hosting. I cannot afford Google Workspace, but I still want to receive emails in Gmail. I also don’t want my emails to go to the spam folder.

According to what I have researched (from GPT), emails may first go to the spam folder if the domain is new. Another reason is email forwarding, if we use Cloudflare, for example, the client sends email to our domain address, Cloudflare receives it and then forwards it to my Gmail. Since this is forwarding, it may increase the chances of emails going to spam.

Where should I buy domain email?
