Counsil of Landsraad represents the gathering
of the Great Houses. Its main role of existence
was protection of the Houses against the Emperor's
Sardaukar (the terrible
fighting team the emperor trained on Salusa Secundus).
All Great Houses knew that their fighting men
could no way stand an attack of the
and were afraid the Emperor would send his troops
and eliminate them one by one. Only the cimbined
forces of Landsraad could overcome such an attack.
The Counsil of Landsraad also prevented the use
of atomics and set rules in the battles betweent
he Great Houses. A strict set of rules was applied
to the declaration of revenge-war, called kanly.
