Founder: Orhan

Episode Synopsis

Orhan Bey returns victorious but is shaken by unexpected news, prompting him to surrender his position to Osman Bey with a solemn acceptance of fate. As tensions rise between Alaeddin and Orhan, Temurtaş's secretive alliance with Saroz and his hosting of Şahinşah and Alaeddin deepen the intrigue, especially as his schemes leave Osman Bey bedridden. Orhan faces mounting pressure from Byzantine and Ilkhanate forces while striving to fulfill his father's dream of conquering Bursa, where he confronts the vengeful Flavius in a deadly bid to rescue Boran. Meanwhile, Temurtash Noyan’s arrival threatens to upend the regional balance of power. Nilüfer Hatun’s belief that Orhan has been wronged sparks conflict among the women, potentially pitting her against Gonca and drawing a decisive response from Malhun Hatun. In a final blow, Osman Bey reclaims command of the siege and appoints Şahinşah Bey as leader, sidelining Orhan once more.
