Hakinnen, not Hakonnen. That's why some people say that Harkonnen should be pronounced with accent on Hark

[Emperor Harkonnen]

I think they are russians, as I wrote in that other thread. their first names are russian: Vladimir, Dmitri

[VigilVirus]

Yes, they are supposed to portray the Soviet Union, there is no doubt in that. If you look at the names, all of them throughout the Harkonnen history have been russian. If you go to the routes, it will probably say that Harkonnens are descendants of russians while the good, noble, etc. Atreides come from US - hehe, big ego lol.

[GhostHunter]

And Ordos from the Middle East, Sounds like a Generals and RAII Remix :P

[Anathema]

The Atreides seem more like England. Not very powerful, but influential.

[ra7968]

Perhaps a bit ethiopian like Their Makkonnens...

[exatreide]

Atreides were greek.

ordos wernt in the books. :D

[VigilVirus]

Atreides were greek, but they might have also been from another country. People from Ancient Greece have spread around the world. Ordos were in the books as a name of a House only - they were never mentioned.

[AlteaDeo]

nope, not at all, House Ordos was a creation of Dr Nelly, who wrote the Dune Encyclopedia, wich isn't canon...

[Emperor Harkonnen]

what?? atreides are not USA. USA could just as well have been Harkonnen.

but maybe Norway is Ordos, rich!!

[Timenn]

No way Harkonnen is Soviet Union. Learn some history first, Vigilvirus.

[Caid Ivik]

They should have some ancestors from land between Alakurtti and Vyborg. This is spread by finnish-russian people. Partially it can be said about whole Kola peninsula. But to return in Dune times - I don't think todays nations will remain after 25 000 years. According to books, all are using galach language and unified imperial culture.

[Khan]

I reckon Harkonnen are russian (obviously red - soviet union ordos are more finnish

[Timenn]

Eh... Harkonnen are blue...

[Anathema]

And Atreides used green/black colors.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

Yeah they are blue, like in the Dune game.

[exatreide]

atreides arnt blue in the books.

Green and black

Speaking of which galach is a anglo slavic combo....

[VigilVirus]

In books Harkonnens have the blue eagles sign while in game they have the red aries. Why would they mix us up like this?

[Lord J]

Harks have a blue griffin (sp?) in the books and Dune 1.
