Dunenewt Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 What is your favourite faction, doesn't have to be a house, in the Dune books? Mine is House Vernius in the House Prequels. They seem really interesting and are good guys despite the Imperial intervention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 ugh, hated House Vernius.lol THat is just me though.I liked the Sardaukar, just interesting about their history. I also liked The Guild. I thought they were so cool and transcendant from the normal thoughts of "regular" humans. There are others but I will have to think about it.

Dante Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 The Bene Gesserit of the originals. And since the prequels seem to be included, they would be closely followed by the cymeks. I liked them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 I would say Bene Gesserit. They are in all of the novels and are shown more in depth than any other faction. Especially in the last two books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 I always thought the Bene Tleilax were interesting, they seemed to really grow as the series expanded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 It's the predictable, cliched choice, but I've got to go with the Fremen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I would also go with the Bene Gesserit... i always find them intruiging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHJ BV Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I don't know...I like most factions mentioned here. I'll go for the Bene Gesserit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exatreide Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Atreides.... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 cymeks dust? I am suprised at you! ;) lol As far as I'm concerned they're one of the few bright spots in the prequels. Something special to aspire to, oligarchic almost. I liked them, more because of who they are and what they did rather than what they are. And every time one dies, as with the BG, I get a bit upset. Lucilla, Odrade, Taraza, Mohiam, both Tamerlanes, Barbarossa, Xerces, Hecate, Ajax, each of the others before the preiquels started... I like them. I admire them.

nemafakei Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Well, the mentats aren't a faction in that they use political power for their own ends, but they are a significant group... insofar as they count, the mentats are the most intriguing caste, perhaps because they're the most accesssible to us in the real world, and perhaps because they're also such a universally neutral group.

TMA_1 Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 heh, its all good dust I was kidding, just being silly as usual. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeLeto Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 House Atreides (under the Duke, not Paul's Imperial Atreides). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 For me those were Atreides, especially with Paul as an emperor, but now I am fully consumed by SARDAUKARS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egeides Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Where is this image coming from exactly? I admit that I don't know Dune games alot, but I just never saw this kind of picture made for Dune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 It was an earlier wallpaper for Emperor.I've always liked the Mentats, although as Nema said, they're not a faction in the traditional sense, and the Suk School of Medicine. I think it would have been neat to learn a bit more about the Suk doctors than we did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 I like House Harkonnen the most. they represent evil in the best way I have ever seen. And the sardaukars also rule. their cooperation with the harkonnens delight me. MUHAHAHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 I always liked the tleilaxu, especially in the later books, they really came in to a world of their own. Althought the bit on IX in the prequels kind of spoilt it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I agree with Mahdi about the Fremen except I don't see why it's cliched ???I liked the Fremen, a justifiably proud people of survivors who gradually became shades of their former selves. Rarely have I seen such drama in a book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezcatlipoca Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Corrino and their Sardaukar on all levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiceGuid Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Bene Gesserit in ChD.I agree with Mahdi about the Fremen except I don't see why it's cliched ???it's clich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 And because so many other people profess to like the sandy little dweebs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Guerrilla Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 The Fremen or Guild would be my choice. I wish there was a combination of the two factions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
