House Wayku

[Dante]

Seeing as there are people here with the memory, resources, and Dune Encyclopaedia that I do not have, I request any details they might have about House Wayku; the one that is confined to Heighliners. That's about it, so thank you in advance.

They weren't in the DE.  It was one of the few interesting concepts apparently created by KJA and BH.  The ony thing it mentions is that they were somehow disgraced during the "Third Coalsack War" (N.B. Calsack likely refers to the dark "coalsack" nebula).  They were then exiled from the Imperium by the Padishah Emperor, but struck a deal with the Guild.  Because Guild heighliners are legally not Imperial property, they had sanctuary aboard the massive ships.  Over time, they somehow became souvenir peddlers in common areas of the heighliners (which weren't supposed to exist in the original novels).

Excellent. Thank you Vanguard, that's all I needed.  :)

All... you... Do I smell fanfiction, perhaps?

The Wayku was a really neat idea, it would be nice to read a bit on their history.

Did you check the Fanfiction board?  ;D  I'm hoping a new Dune fic, with a slightly different setting, will inspire some new ideas and a decent thread. Not sure what you mean by history, unless you mean the fic itself. I tend to think of 'history' as 'anything that has already happened.'

Sorry; I meant the history of House Wayku itself.  I'll be sure to check out your fanfic.
