That's why some people say that Harkonnen should be pronounced with accent on Hark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 I think they are russians, as I wrote in that other thread. their first names are russian: Vladimir, Dmitri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilVirus Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 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 Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 And Ordos from the Middle East, Sounds like a Generals and RAII Remix :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 The Atreides seem more like England. Not very powerful, but influential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exatreide Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Atreides were greek.ordos wernt in the books. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilVirus Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlteaDeo Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 nope, not at all, House Ordos was a creation of Dr Nelly, who wrote the Dune Encyclopedia, wich isn't canon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timenn Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 No way Harkonnen is Soviet Union. Learn some history first, Vigilvirus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
