Timeline

[zispin]

OK, it's obvious the timeline of the books and prequels, I was just wondering how and where Emporer fits into it?

[TMA_1]

about a hundred or so years before I believe

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Its in the years 10190, but its preety funny, cos Baron Vladimir was born in 10110 and died in 10193. And in Dune Encyclopedia is wrote that Gunseng was Vladimir`s father.

[zispin]

I've never been able to work out how the Duke Atreides was black?!

[quoudam72]

Well you see there was this thing with Duke's great great grandmother who's father was of African descent. It's a long story and was a family secret until recently. There was such a scandal about you know the mixing of the races, but one does have to remember that the Mediterranean Sea area is not that far from Northern Africa. :-X

[Gobalopper]

Heh, well quondam is almost right. :)

According to WW Emperor is just an "alternate" universe that resembles the Lynch movie as that is what they have the rights too.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Well, they could make another year at least, I mean, the read the books, cos in game is a lot things that wasn`t in movie. But in the whole thing, doesn`t matter.

WW modified a lot of things. The Kindjal turned into a mortar-like cannon cum bazooka which is so accurate!

[zispin]

Am I right in thinking it was originally a knife?

[nemafakei]

Helena Atreides was indeed of African Origin. But, as has been said, Emp does not fit in at all.

[Caid Ivik]

Am I right in thinking it was originally a knife?

Kindjal is a long knife with curved blade. That's in our dictionary, and also I have one kindjal - very sharp.

is it sorta like a samaraui sword? Those are pretty cool.

[exatreide]

no its only about 3-5 inchs long i belive.

[nemafakei]

More than that! Butterknives are up to 6"! You need a certain length to actually carry some cutting edge, mentioned so early on.

[exatreide]

heheh shows my ignorence in knifes :-[

[Acriku]

LOL sorry Ex, but imagining a 3 inch crysknife cracks me up. Yeah to be realistic somewhere around 7-10 inches IMO.

[Dante]

Its in the years 10190, but its preety funny, cos Baron Vladimir was born in 10110 and died in 10193. And in Dune Encyclopedia is wrote that Gunseng was Vladimir`s father.

Poor Dmitri, all forgotten...

(He was Vladimir's father in the book, for those of you who might not know, which I suspect is not many)

[nemafakei]

Ah.. but which book? I seem to recall there was another discrepancy here...

Having thought about it, Ex, it could have been a small sandworm... a sort of crysknife for a fremen baby...

[Lord J]

Klingon children are declared warriors as soon as they can hold a knife...Here's a picture of a Russian/Turkish Kindjal dagger, it says on the website it is 16" long with an 11" blade.

[GhostHunter]

Getting back onto subject, Emperor does not fit in at all, read the books anyways, the Emperor really falls after Maud'Dib, House Corrino doesnt all end at the hand of one bene gerrist.Until next post, Vilgent.
