Tio_Holtzmann Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 I was thinking about the series the other day, and I wondered: Is there any form of ruling house or democracy in Heretics of Dune and Chapter House Dune? Or did everyone become more autonomous as a result of the scattering? Every-man-for-himself type of living? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zopwx2 Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 i guess so, the honored matres were just kind of conquering planets left and right while the bene gessiet fought them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inoculator9 Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 The empire still existed, it was called the Old Empire by the BG and HM. It did still exist though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 The empire still existed, it was called the Old Empire by the BG and HM. It did still exist though.Actually, they are reffering merely to the area of space the Empire occupied, not that the fuedal empire still exists.

Inoculator9 Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 I realize that that was the major reference but I didn't mean that in the sense that an emperor still ruled. I believe that the "Old Empire" was a reference assigned to the political entities independent of BG or HM rule that were still called houses. House Ix for example.

Caid Ivik Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Empire has fallen. Planetar lords were fully independent. Because they lost primar stability force, the Emperor, came scattering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inoculator9 Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 I still think that in certain parts "Old Empire" was used to refer to the independent powers in the universe that were still calling themselves a house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
