Muad dib Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Were did the Ordos come from, (not their home planet from the book)? As you can tell, I haven't read the books. And who made them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad dib Posted February 2, 2003 Author Share Posted February 2, 2003 I know their from Draconis IV from EBFD telling me. I herd that the Ordos were ment to be in the first dune movie. Is this true or just made up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exatreide Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 thats made up ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inoculator9 Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Definitely made up. If they were to do that it would screw up all the rest of the movies and turn it into an alternate dune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 read teh question and answer section on the sticky. that would have answered it. also draconis IV is in the books. thats where the battle of corrino was. The House of Ordos was stolen from the DE and I dont think westwood paid royalties. I thought of asking McNelly about it but westwood is gone anyways.lol maybe it will work on EA? hehe :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inoculator9 Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Do you mean the Battle of Corrin? I think I remember something about that though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostHunter Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Yes the Ordos are purly fictional. They are mentioned in DE, but they were never mentioned in the novels for any purpose if my recolection serves me right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwood is so good at names, remember? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 They also took house crests, Minotaurus was the grandfather of Duke Leto, Gunseng Harkonnen was the father of Vladimer in the DE. I could name a few more I just have to look through it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanguard3000 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Minotaurus was the grandfather of Duke LetoAre you sure? I thought Minotaurus (A.K.A. "Mintor") was Leto's father (i.e. instead of Paulus from the prequels), not grandfather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 I just checked, I got tired of reading it on the computer so I went through interlibrary loan and now have a copy of the DE for two weeks. I have been studying it every day for a long time. it is so much better than reading from computer. Anyways I found that you are right. he is the father of Leto. Paulos, not Paulus from the prequels, was the uncle of Leto. Paulos and Mintor were brothers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMA_1 Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 no, I read it all via pdf file... dont tell anybody.lol I checked it out to actually read it in a more relaxing fashion. I still read it all though. Just neat to have the book in my hands though. know what I mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 How long is the DE? (how many pages...)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 A bit over 500, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 How long is the DE? (how many pages...)?536 pdf version. so me guessing that is how long it is somewhat in book length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 I don't think you can call it theft. Since they only took the name and planet. Westwood is so good at names, remember?Sorry I meant isn'tBut they stole indeed all crests. For Atreides it's logical. Since they already had the Hawk. But why did they pick a bull for Harkonnen?

TMA_1 Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 thats the problem, all three of the crests are exact duplicates from the DE. The ram of the harkonnen banner looks exactly the same as the one in the book. Ordos have the crest of House Wallach in the book. Atreides is so similar that it also must be a copy. I can make more pictures that I posted in House Crests if ya like. so you can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
