I've played through it.There's the baron Valadimir, Rabban, and Feyd Rautha Wiccan.-They have all the cutscenes on youtube, of House Harkonnen. Has a Wiccan theme. The Christians being the peacemakers, like House Atreides.-I'm not sure what religion house Ordos is based on, it's 3rd party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 The designs in Dune 2000 and Emperor are generally based on David Lynch's film. Whether Lynch or his crew made any specifically Wiccan references I have no idea. Some of Harkonnen designs were created by H. R. Giger. In the books, Frank Hebert certainly addresses the topic of religion pretty frequently, but the Great Houses are not representations or allegories of any real-life religions, being secular political bodies.
