The Frank Herbert's Children of Dune Primer INTRODUCTION The imperium presided over by Emperor Muad'Dib is rife with powerful entities competing for political, military and economic advantage. Alliances are forged and dissolved as the competing noble houses of the Landsraad conspire to undermine the reigning House Atreides; merchants, priests and politicians become strange bedfellows as they hatch sinister plots that can take years or even decades to unfold. Some of the major pieces of this galactic political puzzle are presented here. The information in this section is drawn from Frank Herbert's novels Dune, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, and might contain background information and details not seen in the miniseries Frank Herbert's Children of Dune. It is intended to provide viewers with a larger context in which to view the Dune saga and its many complex relationships.
