Ertuğrul

I'm always astounded by the amount of people that did not grow up with Korean being their mother tongue, but they watched Korean dramas.

Or Turks, people who did not grow up speaking Turkish, but they understand Ertuğrul perfectly, right? It's amazing.

Which shows you what? When you care, you will do it.

When you want to, you will do it.

One of these groups was the Kayi clan, part of the larger Oghuz Turkic people.

Their leader, a man named Ertugrul, had been granted a small stretch of land near the town of Sogut in the northwestern corner of Anatolia, close to the Byzantine frontier.

It was not particularly rich land.

It was borderland, the kind of place where the rules were loose and survival required constant attention.
