Here lies a
toppled god
His fall was not a small one.
We did but build his pedestal,
A narrow and tall one.

These are illusions
of popular history which a successful religion
must promote: Evil men never prosper; only
the brave deserve the fair; honesty is the
best policy; actions speak louder than words;
virtue always triumphs; a good deed is its
own reward; any bad human can be reformed;
religious talismans protect one from demon
possession; only females understand the ancient
mysteries; the rich are doomed to unhappiness.

More than a millenium
has passed since the first events recorded
in Dune. One link only survives with the heroic
past: Leto Atreides... |

From Dune to Rakis
to Dune, the wheel turns full circle. From
burning desert to green and fertile land and
on again to burning desert, the cycle is complete.
Here come the Heretics of Dune! |
|
We walk a delicate
line, perpetuating Atreides (Siona) genes
in our population because that hides us from
prescience. We carry the Kwisatz Haderach
in that bag! Willfulness created Muad'dib.
Prophets make predictions come true! Will
we ever again dare ignore our Tao sense and
cater to a culture that hates the chance and
begs for prophecy?
