quoudam72 Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 It could be viewed that way so to avoid a long discussion about the Baron's sexuality I will leave it at that. It still remains that the poison that he received from the RM Mohaim is the result that we see in the original Dune Chronicles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Aside from he has slave boys. Which is how Feyd tried to assasinate him. Knowning where the Baron would put his hand on the slaves thigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Vladimir was always sadist and pervert. I think about his nephews. If they stay with their father, brother of Baron was quite normal witch is seems to be very strange in Harkonnen family, they could be different. Especially Rabban.

Vanguard3000 Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Okay, as for Alexander's original question: I've created a list of all of the Houses I could find. Thry are quite a few of them, as well as many listed in the D.E.http://community.theunderdogs.org/smiley/houses.htmWhat does 'Bene' mean?I read somewhere that it basically means "from" (as in "descendants of").

jacobdouds Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 So who was Gesserit and Tlieaxu, or were they just religions like Christians from 'Christ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander_Ordos Posted March 13, 2002 Author Share Posted March 13, 2002 Thanx Van, that's great 8) another question:Where can I get DE? :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Jacob: Who knows? perhaps we'll meet Gesserit (if indeed "bene" = "from" is correct) in the Jihad trilogy.I always thought that "Gesserit" was very similar to "Jesuit". Perhaps there's a connection there.Mr. Ordos: It's unlikely that you'll find it in a bookstore, unless it has used books. Your best bet would be to check ebay. There's usually one or two floating around at any one time. Be prepared to pay even $150 USD for a copy though - after all, you're not the only one looking for a copy. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Bene- Check the news archive, search for Bnot. Should be in an article I posted a little over a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 Thanks, Mahdi! Very enlightening. You should make a separate archive of stuff like that, so that it's easier to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ligic_Tha_Master Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 Jesuits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 The jesuits were a cast of priests for the catholic church. they remind me of the BG. But the BG names comes from a hebrew name for "one who crosses the bridge" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander_Ordos Posted March 17, 2002 Author Share Posted March 17, 2002 Jesuits were a faction asigned by the Catholic church to fight against Liuterons... ::) Besides we have a jesuit gimnasium here on Draco IV ( In Lithuania)... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel_Worf Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 Their is no House Tleilax. The Emperor will not give them house status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Kirov: Yeah, I haven't had much time for the 'net lately. I come here whenevere I get the chance. :)Alexander: Ginaz is the home planet of House Ginaz, and the training ground of the infamous Swodsmasters. From descriptions in HH, it is mainly water, with fairly small islands and archipelagos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander_Ordos Posted April 11, 2002 Author Share Posted April 11, 2002 True according to HH, Ginaz looks like Caladan in some way AND there was no House - only a school like BG AND that Moritani had a war with them ...Good now let's talk about House Vernius...

Frodo Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 there is also house maros. they were given a planet by the emperor elrood 5. check out my topic, "No ginaz, maros instead!" On the dune editing forum. It is a mod for emperor battle for dune. It replaces house ordos with house Maros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_d00d Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 let's not mix up fan created houses with 'real' houses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 no, it is a real house. check the timeline in dune. it shows that house maros did exist. I saw this at museum arakeen, and they pulled it out of dune. I lent my copy to a friend and never looked it up. But it did exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 I am well aware alexander who the jesuits were. They werent founded just to take out protestants. They existed before the inquisition. But when that all did happen. a certain group of the jesuits were assigned to be the secret police of the catholic church. weeding out the "heretics".Anyways I like McNelly's version of the bene-gesserit. The evolution of the name through the evolution of culture on Terra. I still think it holds more simple roots though in the hebrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander_Ordos Posted April 13, 2002 Author Share Posted April 13, 2002 Ok let's discuss BG...BG existed since the ancient times - it's a bit strange cause i never heard of such female comunity in real world... BG estblished House Wallach in Chapter House Dune right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
