And after all those heated arguments it is Ertugrul’s elder brother Gundudu is the one who suggests the place should be Aleppo, the new land for migration.
Aleppo, or “Halab” in Arabic, is one of the world’s oldest continually inhabited cities, of present-day Syria. principal city of northern Syria. It is situated in the northwestern part of the country, about 30 miles (50 km) south of the Turkish border.

Gundudu suggests as the Amir of Aleppo is making preparations and gathering an army to fight against Templars, it would be a chance for Kayi’s to offer their help as they have the most experienced fighters, referred as the Alps in the series.
Kurdoglu is a character cunning as a fox, makes everyone at the meeting to nod at Gundudu’s suggestion and while the argument still continues the beating drums at the tribe announce the arrival of Seljuk commander Kara Toygar, who comes and demands the return of the refugees brought to the tribe by Ertugrul.
How he found about it was Kayi’s adventure to kill the templars and rescue the prisoners, as Ertugrul’s guard or say, warrior, Turgut had left this axe at the spot.
Kara Toygar claims those people as prisoners of the Seljuks and demands their return. However, for Suleyman Shah is against the Kayi customs to return their guests or anyone taking refuge at his tribe. He would rather die instead of breaking the custom and not helping the oppressed. Well, Kayi’s are given two days to return the prisoners with a threat.
Meanwhile, the dead body of Titus’s brother arrives at the templars castle, and Titus learns about the excruciating death of his brother who at the time is executing top Muslim officials from the Seljuk empire and swears to seek revenge form Kayis!
Ertugrul gets confronted by his brother but he has only one answer he could not have let helpless alone in the time of need!

To which Ertugrul only has one answer, no one can mess with them, it is against their honour to give away the refugee they would fight the whole world but not break their custom.
While worried about what he has done, after being blamed by everyone for bringing fire to the tribe, Ertugrul gets comfort in the words of her mother. Certainly, you have brought the fire to the tribe, says his mother, fire can burn a dough, or can cook the dough into a loaf of bread. The test comes from Allah and is up to him to how to defend his honour and the tribe.
Unfortunately, the original dialogues at of this scene are lost somewhere in translations, Ertugrul’s mother Hayme, gives him reference of fire, which could cook food or at the same time can burn it, It is up to him how he seeks to utilize the fire for getting his desired results.
Here comes the changing point for Ertugrul as Suleman Shah sees a dream which foretells, who is going to be the next Kayi’s leader. This young man Ertugrul in between 25 to 30 years of age has to embrace the prophecy of becoming a great leader.
