For those that have been with me and Dave in other regions you'll have come across our various attempts at a nation based on Frank Herberts Dune series. I'm planning on bringing it here once I hit 400 posts. My plan for it will see it have several connections to other nations etc and I'd like to introduce the nation with a bang.

I've already made a guide to the religion. Something I'm starting to drip feed already.

For those who haven't read the books essentially its a sci-fi series (don't worry I'll tone it to MT) where four families compete to control a vital spice used as like a fuel for space travel. Throw into this the belief that a breeding programme run by the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood will breed a super human to help their faith in a great time of crisis.

Anyway some people have already given me the go ahead to use parts of their nation, so if you pick up any issues, errors etc or have any suggestions feel free to comment.

History

9th Century, as part of an attempt by various Celtic King's in the area of modern UC the people landed in the area and settled. These settlers were mainly those of the semi-secular "cult" known as the Bene Gesserit who, sensing growing persecution left in search of their prophecised homeland.

1800's - The nation underwent a series of famines and draught meaning the population reduced significantly. The Four Holy Houses tried hard to help those in need but in 1867 inspired by Communism a revolution saw a Communsit government installed and the Bene Gesserit banned.

1871- Battle of Chapterhouse - The Bene Gesserit home on the island of Chapterhouse was attacked and taken over, many leading Bene Gesserit where executed and others went into exile. Several of the group managed to form an underground movement and hide the Four Holy Houses (Corrino - UC, Fremen - Heyra, Harkonnen-Vaguzia, Atreides - Achkaerin)

1901 - The nation became a satellite of the USR with a puppet leader.

1937 - The Corrino Revolution. Lead by a Duke of the Corrino family a revolt took place in the city of Duneragh. The revolt saw an estimated 6,000,000 people take part, however with support from the USR loyalist forces successfully kept control.

1975 - The Truthsayer War - The Bene Gesserit paramilitary wing had spent ten years recruiting, secretly preaching and forming forces. They launched an assault on the capital which was initially successful and for the first time since 1867 a Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother was announced on Chapterhouse, which had since become a government office. For almost a week the Truthsayers held the island before falling to USR forces, around 1,800 of the Order were executed in the coming weeks, once more however they successfully hid the Four Holy Houses.

2014 - The Collapse of the USR - Saw former USR puppet Stephen McPherson install himself as dictator and immediate begin making laws considered insane.

2017 - The Revolution of the Holy - The Bene Gesserit had relocated in secret to Ui Cenneslaig where it was believed that with their cultural similarities beside religion the order could rebuild. Lead by a 19 year old prodigy who was recognised by the in exile Truthsayers the order began a revolution to remove McPherson. This will be supported by members of the Four Holy Houses who are in exile around Mundus. The revolution begins after the Truthsayers have been secretly infilitrated into the nation and upon a pre-determined signal swoop.

THE BENE GESSERIT FAITH[1]

Posted Image


The Bene Gesserit (sometimes called the Sisterhood) faith is based on a belief that the Gods created certain humans with some attributes of the Gods. It also believes that one day it will be necessary for a supreme being to be born which will be a man that has all the power of the Gods. This man is referred to as the Kwisatz Haderach. This man shall lead the whole of humanity against a threat that would wipe out all life in the world, once successful he would reveal a new set of laws to humanity to lead them into a paradise upon Earth and ensure each person a place in the afterlife.

The Bene Gesserit faith believes that four families have been granted special insight into the Gods powers, these families are known as the Four Holy Houses and are the Atreides, Harkonnen, Corrino and Fremen families. The Bene Gesserit faith seeks to help these families realise their potential and bring about the creation of the Kwisatz Haderach. To do this the Bene Gesserit leadership has controlled the bloodlines of these families through inter-marriage in an attempt to breed a more godlike individual. They have also used the fact that all marriages in Kaitaine must be approved by the Sisterhood to ensure that any individual outside the four families who is believed to be favoured by the Gods is matched as perfectly as possible.

The Sisterhood is a lifelong commitment and people may join at any point, however many lower class families push daughters towards the Sisterhood as a way of increasing the families prestige as it opens many oppurtunities.
