Dunenewt Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Could we use a bit of artistic license when creating them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pencilgod Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 Yes, you sure can. Kailea Vernius is actually Rhomburs siter and married Duke Leto, but in my version of Ix she's Rhomburs daughter (so she can marry Paul Atreides). I'm going to make a sequel to Dune 1, but I don't want Paul to automatically marry Irulan, I want him to be able to choose from brides from different houses :D.

Dante Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 A bit generalistic. Feyd was not fat, and none of the Harkonnen were cowardly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijaz Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Excluding feyd then.And yes a harkonnen was a coward. An Atreides had one branded a coward at the battle of Corrin.Thats why they hate each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 That's just what history tells us. In the original books there was never any mention of the exact circumstances, and the prequels don't count. Since they seemed to be going in exactly the opposite direction when I gave up in frustration anyway, I doubt the prequels would have had much to add.

Emperor Harkonnen Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 why don't you give an example where the harkonnens are cowards?`I don't find them cowards at all. They are ruthless, and thinks mostly about profit. they are self-centered and treacherous but not cowards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tako Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 how about:they don't take front row in fighting but let others do that for them they bribe they use secret agents to poisen others kill athers all behind closed curtains.the baron hides behind his guards and even his cousin's can't just walk in his room because of the shieldsthereedit: adn it doe say that a harkonnen was banned from the battle of corrin because he was a coward thought it was the first book (original books) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 That's not cowardice, it's pragmatism. And just because it is claimed a Harkonnen was a coward in a battle, does not mean that they were. A bit generalistic. Feyd was not fat, and none of the Harkonnen were cowardly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
