Gunman Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 In children of dune, one Sand Dancer in Arrakeen said: "Where this city is, there will be only sand! I have see-ee-een"So, I think that arrakeen is there sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abelian Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Hi, Arrakeen became Leto's festival city of Onn in GEOD, bordered at one end by the vast wall Leto had built to enclose his Sareer mini-desert, on top of which was the Royal Road from his citadel. Probably the Idaho river flows through Onn as well - it borders the non Sareer side of the wall. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Did it not eventually become the city of Keen, or similar? 'Keen, maybe... In Heretics and Chapterhouse, when Arrakis was Rakis. I'd look it up, but my books aren't anywhere nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3ngel Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Did it not eventually become the city of Keen, or similar? 'Keen, maybe... In Heretics and Chapterhouse, when Arrakis was Rakis. I'd look it up, but my books aren't anywhere nearby. Yes, i can remember too Arraken trasformed into Keen, and in the end (6 book) Keen becames the place of the "holy religious order of the divided god", and where the nullentropic chamber of Leto II is found with his diaries. Concerning the Arraken in GEOD times, mm if i can remember there is not a clear reference to the city, but i can presume, as said before, it was related to the city in wich Leto II lived, connected to the city of Onn by an over-elevated highway, builded upon the remainining of the Shield-Wall, but in the books it's not so clear.

Dante Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Also, Onn was the specially constructed Festival City, built with the sole purpose of viewing the God Emperor. It didn't have any relation to Arrakeen. Especially since it wasn't occupied except in Festival season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't have any relation to Arrakeen. Especially since it wasn't occupied except in Festival season. That's wrong, when not in Festival time, Onn was permanently occupied by all the classes of burocrats, used to maintain the Empire, and if i can remember correctly even Fish Speakers had a permanent location in Onn (school and so on). This is said in GEOD in a conversation between Duncan and Leto or Moneo (i can't remember well but i think more Moneo). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 According to the Encyclopaedia, it is unoccupied during non-Festival times, with the exception of cleaners and security staff. People are not allowed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHJ BV Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I too remember the books saying that the city was permanently occupied, just not as fully as during a festival. The Encyclopedia is irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I'll deal with this when I get my books back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
