The beginning is a very delicate time. Know then that it is the year 10191. The known universe is ruled by the Padisha Emperor Shadam the 4th, my father. In this time the most precious substance in the universe is the spice melange. The spice extends life. The spice expands conciseness. The spice is vital to space travel. The Spacing Guild and its Navigators, who the spice has mutated over 4000 years, use the orange spice gas, which gives them the ability to fold space; that is, to travel to any part of the universe with out moving. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you the spice exists on only one planet in the entire universe , a dry desolate planet with vast deserts. Hidden away with in the needs of these deserts are the people known as the fremen; who have long held the prophecy that a man would come, a Messiah, who would lead them to true freedom, the planet is Arrakis, also known as Dune.








"I will not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - Bene Gesserit, Litany Against Fear
