House Feud

[Dunenewt]

and who has Fief of Arrakis?

[Inoculator9]

To The Great and Minor Houses of The Landsraad

The fief of Arrakis will be divided. House Corrino will control the two poles, House Atreides will control the hemispheres around these two points in a circular pattern, House Harkonnen will control the hemispheres around this, House Vernius will control the western equator, and House Moritani will control the eatstern equator. House Corrino and Atreides control the most spice rich areas, while House Harkonnen controls the largest space, and House Moritani and Vernius control the areas least inhabited; so the Moritani can perform their frequent weapons tests, and the Vernius can perform equipment tests unhampered. 10% off all spice profits are mine, the rest is for whomever claims it. War may be declared against any of the other territories of Arrakis, House Corrino will intervene only if necessary, but water will be provided to all houses from the Corrino controlled ice poles.

I declare that any mistreatment to the native population of arrakis in my vicinity will be dealt with in th e harshest manner. Likewise, any House that mistreats any of my people who cross through Another Houses alloted land of Arrakis will be dealt with harshly. I respect any who do not wish the atreides to mingle with their people in their given territory. This would be silly though for the reason of increased trade and goods.

Now we should get someone to play as Fremen. They can't have frigates or anything like that but they can ally themselves with whoever they want. IM someone and ask if they want to be the Fremen here.

[Dunenewt]

And the smugglers and the Bene Gesserat

[Inoculator9]

Good idea. IM people, im a little pre-occuopied at the moment.

[GhostHunter]

I will be Fremen.

Niab Shatek stood upon a large rock form looking across the Dunes, the wind blew in from the East and large rocks covered the Western edge of platform and several and smaller rocks and bolders. He was the only one on the rock formation, his tribe was 678 meters away on another rock formation, setting up for the day. The tall, black haired man had a lot to think about. All the new theifs were handed out and the Houses forces rushed to Arrakis. He had atleast 2 tribes every place there was a theif. Sending out notes to all the new oncoming Houses to meet him and discuss a allience he hoped to stop any conflicts.

[Inoculator9]

To Naib Shatek

I have recieved a message from your people requesting a meeting for an alliance. I accept your proposal and will discuss it with you at your leisure. Know that all of the houses here on Arrakis will accept my decision with you. I have no desire for war with your people.

Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe

[GhostHunter]

You set the meeting place, not in the desert, it will be your or someone eleses residence.

It is ok. For right now I intend to make peace with the Atreides.[/hide]

To the eternal star, Padishah Emperor;

House Moritani thanks you from the very humble position we occupy, and wishes our everlasting loyalty to be known. We shall send forces to Arrakis at once, with your permission.

Viscount Moritani.

To the Hammer of Caladan, Duke Atreides;

As we are to share the planet Arrkis let us leave these old feuds between yourself and another house behind us. I wish to send a diplomat to Caladan with a gift of valuable emeralds and a hundred of my finest slaves to show my goodwill, but as trust is always uneasy, he will wait aboard the Heighliner until you see fit to allow him onto Caladan. He will, of course, allow a full search of his person and the gifts by your men, and you yourself if you do so wish. He is my best Swordmaster, Hiih Resser, so don't go killing him please. With hope for the future,

Viscount Moritani.

Message to Fremen,

I accept your proposal for a meeting. However I request that it be held on Grumman, as my forces are not yet stationed well enough on Arrakis to provide any accomodation other than military, and Heighliners are expensive.

Awaiting your answer,

Viscount Moritani.

[GhostHunter]

Message To All Houses With Fiefs Of Arrakis:

[hide]We will not effect your spice harvesting in anyway if we get a good sum of spice each Arakkian year, fighting is would be useless, we would rather not start conflict, and we think you wuld not either, and for this spice we may show you some desert keys, please respond soon[/hide]

[Inoculator9]

To Naib Shatek and Landsraad Houses

We will meet at my palace in Arrakeen. Representatives of all houses will be present, to eliminate the need for isolated meetings. You are permitted an escort of ten men, all the other representatives will be alloted the same amount. And you will recieve 10% of all spice harvested from Arrakis, the same amount as myself. With this spice you can purchase what ever you need, and as a gesture of good faith I offer 50,000 gallons of water.

Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe

[GhostHunter]

We owe you a great debt, that amunt of water and spice is a tresure to us beyond belief, I will personaly make sure tribes wacth out for your harvesters and men in the desert when you start mining

[Inoculator9]

To Naib Shatek

In exchange for teh spice and water, I ask only that you station two Fremen on each harvester on Arrakis. These Fremen will be paid normal wages of course. I look forward to our meeting, in a week if you agree?

Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe

[GhostHunter]

Agreed,there will be 2 to harvester, and I will bring 10 fully armored Feydikin death commandos as the gaurds

OOC - I don't know, but it seems that we need a new enemy. This love and peace is becoming quite boring ;D

[Inoculator9]

Dust Scout is planning several wars, but you should start something with the Atreides or betray the Fremen, or whatever. But a little later I'm going to introduce a new enemy.

Yes, do betray the Fremen, there only the ones who kill the Sardukar easily ;D

[VigilVirus]

To Viscount Moritani:

[hide]

It seems to me that we shall need more allies if we are to gain more power. Is there anyone who you think will be able to help us with our ambition, dear Viscount? It seems that right now many Houses are against us. The Ix, Atreides have clearly taken a side, opposing us. The Richese have become a renegade House and are quite useless. The Fremen are keeping neutral. So in the end it comes up to this: Ix+Atreides vs. Harkonnen+Moritani. It is not clear whose side the Emperor takes.

Of course, our armies and our empires are a lot stronger than those of Ix and Atreides, especially after the last invasion, but it still is up to the Emperor whom to support.

Your loyal friend,

Vladimir Harkonnen

I have allocated supplies of water to improve the quality of your villages. I hope that you use it well. I present it to you as a gesture of good hope and an aspiration of good relations in the future.

Any Ixian Technology you require that will improve your quality of life is available for next to nothing. We maybe very different in our cultures but we definetly share one thing: Hatred for the Harkonnen.[/hide]

Message to the Padishah Emperor of Known Universe:

[hide]

Your majesty,

I sense some growing conspiracy against my House by the Ixians. I have a feeling that they are trying to plot against my controlled territories on Arrakis. Could you help me investigate this matter further?

Your loyal allie,

Baron Harkonnen[/hide]

[Dunenewt]

OOC: Allie is spelt Ally

AND

That was a private message

[Dante]

I will attend, but to show my goodwill, I shall take only two bodyguards. When shall this take place?

Message to Fremen;

[hide] I have recieved evidence that other houses have been sending water supplies to Arrakis, or Dune as you prefer. It is my duty to point out that this is a form of bribary, no matter what good it may serve you, and should be treated with caution. I will not send a gift, rather an offer; you ask, and I shall provide.

Viscount Moritani.

[/hide]

Message to Baron Harkonnen;

[hide] To be blunt, nobody's playing another house so we're pretty much short of allies. However, my technicians have an ingenious idea to cripple our shared enemies, I shall communicate it to you personally. My shuttle leaves at once.

Viscount Moritani.
