[@InvictaHistory]

I LOVE the Dune universe and its a great pleasure to bring you all another look at daily life on Arrakis! I'll be making the art available for download on Patreon so check it out to get some amazing illustrations from Beverly Johnson and support the channel: www.patreon.com/InvictaHistory

Honestly, fictional or historical, how someone grows up in a society is super interesting and fundamental to understanding their culture.

Fremen vs Sardaukar AKA Space Arabs vs Space Mongolians

[@Princeps7289]

I always saw the Sardaukar and the Emperor as either Persian or Ottoman.

yeah s/he's referring to the mongolian throat singing in the film ​@@Princeps7289

[@jacavanheesch4593]

@@Princeps7289 in them movies they troat sing that why the guy above thinks of them as mongolians

[@jays2551]

I always thought of the sardaukar as space spartans, since the rite of passage for becoming a sardaukar warrior is an increasingly intense series of trials in the wilderness. and they're thrown into that wilderness as children, alone and defenseless, also similar to the rite of passage for a male from sparta

[@HolyNorthAmericanEmpire]

@@jays2551 I am aware that the Sardaukar are inspired by many warrior cultures throughout history. They are brought up like spartans, they fight like Samurai, they are faithful like knights and loyal like the Immortals, royal elite guards like the Praetorians. However in the movies they also are depicted to throat sing like Mongolians. Which were also once a great Empire with renowned warriors. I think in one of the novels Genghis Khan is actually accidentally thought to be a Sardaukar by one of the characters, could be wrong though. The Sardaukar (and Fremen) are essentially the culmination of every great warrior culture in our history.

[@bilbobagend8155]

The Dune Encyclopedia really was something else. It's a shame we'll likely never see a reprint of it in Brian Herbert's lifetime, if ever.

As a woman, Fremen menstruation sounds fascinating. Instead of monthly periods, the women might have 6 or less periods per year. Without sounding too gross, the periods might be little dried clots like beef jerky bits mostly devoid of water.

[@pinchevulpes]

You should do a battle animation for Paul’s utter capitulation of the emperors army. Seems people don’t understand how Paul used combined arms tactics, and his prescience in detecting the incoming storm to neutralize the air superiority of the emperors force. It was literally the perfect storm, and people think the sardukar were just nerfed..

[@yaujj65]

I mean I saw the movie and I can see the Emperor army is woefully unprepared. It doesn't matter if you are very skilled, tactics is the deciding factor in battle. Logistics is for wars but that a story for another day.

[@pinchevulpes]

@@yaujj65 the army wasn’t unprepared they just didn’t have enough time to deploy in proper formation and first FIND where Maud’ib was. Maud’ib came and ambushed the emperor using the cover of the storm. I think this mirrors the attitude in the emperor from the former duke leto that he would have time from the moment he arrived to deal with an attack, both were given neither.

[@yaujj65]

@@pinchevulpes I mean that what I mean by unprepared. Because they are in the middle of mobilising. A storm hit them and a group of worms strike at the army before combat ensues.

[@pinchevulpes]

@@yaujj65 a storm Paul knew would be there at that exact moment and planned his entire ambush around, that’s the advantage of prescience, it doesn’t matter how prepared or unprepared you are. The Mahdi can see whenever you’ll be, when, and with whom. An unassailable advantage indeed.

[@yaujj65]

@@pinchevulpes Of course prescience plays a huge role in the battle, no doubt about it.

[@bagel3703]

What happens if you add Spice to like...food?

[@InvictaHistory]

Apparently its a pretty regular part of the Fremen diet, at least in trace amounts. I believe it will add some flavor and pass on traits such as extended life and the blue eyes.

[@dziban303]

@bagel3703 the books say it tastes like cinnamon and allspice

[@AlexandruSD]

I would be curious how you add food to spice. There are no animals to hunt, and I haven't seen a single greenhouse on the entire planet.

[@MrTryAnotherOne]

Is this video based on official lore?

[@InvictaHistory]

Parts are pulled from mentions in the official book, other come from supplemental material like the Dune Encyclopedia or the RPG handbook

[@Dinooatmeal]

Have you guys ever read the Red Rising series? If your into Dune you'll probably love it as it definitely takes a ton of inspiration from Dune. It also has a LOT of historical references to ancient Rome/Greece as the inspiration for ruling society with smaller culture groups being based off other historical groups like the Vikings, so it's filled to the brim with fun historical Easter eggs for the reader to catch as many of the events are definitely based on old fantastical tales.

[@owlfrog]

If every male has to kill another male to marry, and might kill multiple other males, and if males have the extremely dangerous sandworm riding rite of passage and are also the warriors... you'd expect a ratio of like 3+ women per man. But I feel like we don't quite see that? it looks more like 1.5:1 or something closer to that.

[@MichaelRainey]

It doesn't have to be another Fremen. They can take the water off some soft offworlder.

[@owlfrog]

@@MichaelRainey That's a good point. I am not a Dune expert, but my impression is that they have relatively little contact with offworlders. But maybe they don't, and we should think they are killing Harkonnen workers regularly? Seems like there would be more vicious reprisals if so, though...

[@MichaelRainey]

At least in the books the Fremen didn't seem too hung up on polygamy either. Paul "married" Jamis's widow before he was with Chani or Irulan.

[@AB-gk8cs]

I would have expected to hear that the Fremen kill all babies who are mentally or physical disabled, considering them at a waste of food and water. I mean given the brutally of the Fremen and that it is expected that children did participate from so young age, I can not imagine that they have any patience or mercy with anyone who can do their part... However I was never realy convinced with this Fremen-hype as the super-duper-badass🙄. I can accept that they beat the Sardaukar in survival skills (of course only in the desert) - but in combat? Na, I am not convinced. After all they still have to WORK/grow food/repairing etc., while the Sardaukar are fulltime soldiers. It is this (i. m. o. a little bit silly or at least naive or short-sighted) idea that the "noble savage" always beat the professional soldiers. This cliche is so overused, I am a little bit sick of it.😉

[@13darkjems]

Some of my favorite characters are disabled people in really tough "kill disabled babies" societies. It adds to the stakes. Makes for good stories. I feel like a story about a disabled fremin kid would be cool.

[@patrickblanchette4337]

[@tahnadana5435]

can you do a growing up a zack snyder character next?

[@nerminsnowhuseinbasic9340]

[@marcbartuschka6372]

To be honest the idea of the author of a society which members kill each other so frequently just to proove that they are full "adult" was at least a little bit bonkers. I mean a duel is a intern affair which more weakens the tribe than it makes him stronger. Well, the victory of the Fremen over the Empire of their galaxy was maybe a little bit less stupid than the role of the Ewoks in defeating the Galactic Empire in the SW-Galaxy, but only a little... And both are strange people to choose as allies.

[@yaujj65]

About the Ewoks, they did help in the battle but never the decisive factor. It gave the Rebels space to fight back.

[@Y_ooKang]

Is this fiction or non- fiction?

[@RexoryByzaboo]
