Alexander_Ordos Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 I always wondered while reading GEOD why were those FS so powerfull and so important to The Worm :)? Were they God Emperor's personal Bene Gesserit of some sort. They were his death and glory...sob..sob.. so sad but anyway - who would you choose?

Acriku Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 BG because they are good and realized their evil doings eventually. Besides, BG is more popular, can't be a victim to heresy can we now? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 It depends on what you prefer. Fish Speakers were fanatical and listen every order that Leto told. Its very good if you want adoration. Bene Gesserit had their own plans and were individualistic.Personally I prefer BG, they hadn`t nobody over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander_Ordos Posted July 10, 2002 Author Share Posted July 10, 2002 Well the Fish Speakers don't need spice, though htey depend on their God's mood and orders. Sayanoq is also very important ceremony for the FS. They fight better than BG but they use brute strengh instead of the wearding way. The BG existed all the time after Butlerian Jihad while FS were powerfull only for 4000 years not much for the Duniverse. I personaly also chose BG...

gryphon Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 The BG are a group of there own. The Fish speakers where mearly the army of Leto II because for known reasons he didn't use men as the fighters but woman.The BG did have an army of there own. The role of that is verry important in Herretics and Chapterhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Fish Speakers are fanatical. Bene Gesserit are determined. The difference is there. What would have been amusing is to see Bene Gesserit travel through time and coordinate a war between Fish Speakers and Honoured Matres, who are actually similar... But Fish Speakers don't try to kill their leader. Bene Gesserit rule! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Fishspeakers + Bene Gesserit = Honoured Matres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 And the Honoured Matres, fall to the Bene Gesserit and merge with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 which in my odd mind is Leto's golden path to save humanity from the unknown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 But was it really? I thought in the book Heretics of Dune it said something to the effect of he didn't look all the way in the future only 4000 years. He didn't mention if he saw the survival of the Bene Gesserit.Though I think Leto had a soft spot for the Bene Gesserit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exatreide Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 they were the only ones who sorta kinda known what he was going through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Leto II did have a place for the Bene Gesserit but as usual the Bene Gesserit would not know where that place was because they were too blinded by their own sight. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 What was it they always replied ?"If we desieve you let us know so we wont do it next time." ?Leto II had a sofy spot for Ix. But in times he made them pay heavely for there insubordination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 !Slight Chronicle Spoiler!Yes but also later in the Chroniciles a Bene Gesserit sister finds a message left by Leto II for the Sisiterhood that is what I am drawing from as a basis for my reasoning.

Dante Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 But the God Emperor also mentions that the only powerful group he considered destroying were the Bene Gesserit. And that includes the Tleilaxu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
