Welcome to Arrakis - Dune Lore Explained (History, Factions, Planetology)

Welcome to Arrakis - A primer video on the lore of Dune by Frank Herbert. You can play the awesome Dune boardgame through our sponsor GF9: www.flamesofwar.com/gf9online...
In this lore documentary we seek to bring to life the world of Frank Herbert's Dune series with animated video of the key aspects of his work. We begin by tracing the history of the imperium from the Space Age of the 21st century through the mellenia of expansion that would see the Empire of Man become the Empire of a Thousand Worlds. We cover the pivotal moment that was the Butlerian revolt against the Thinking Machines. In its aftermath, the galaxy was reformed into a new galactic order.
This was made up of three main pillars: The Landsraad, The Imperial Throne, and the Spacing Guild. We discuss each of these with a focus on the Great and Minor houses along with House Corrino which currently sits atop the throne. In addition we also dive into the emergence of new players like the Mentats, the Navigators, and the Bene Gesserit.
Finally we turn our attention to how these various galactic factions of the Imperium of Man come to see their plans within plans come to a head on Arrakis. To set the stage for this action we dive deep into the planetology of Dune including its ecology, the sand worms, spice melange, and the Fremen.
I've loved diving into the lore of Dune and hope this makes a good primer video for the Dune Movie 2021 as well as your reading of the Dune books as I assume that most Dune Movie Review videos do not get into this much detail. Stay tuned for more episodes on Dune explained.

It's fun to watch videos like this and learn just how deep some sci fi franchises today, especially Warhammer 40k, have roots in Dune. Imperium of Man, the God-Emperor, even the existence of Navigators (albeit rather decidedly different in how they work and why they're needed in 40k) owe their inspirations to these books.

Not to mention there was an AI rebellion during the Dark Age of Technology. It's basically "thinking machines" rebellion in Dune. That's why AI is banned in both universes.

one crucial piece of information is missing: the correlation between sand trouts and sandworms was not widespread knowledge. Among others, the Corrino Emperors and the Guild itself did not knew it.

[@NATIK001]

Yeah, this lack of knowledge is why starting a new Spice cycle elsewhere always failed. Anyone trying to set up a Spice cycle tended to take adult worms from Dune and transplant them, but the only result of that was the death of the worm. The worm cannot live anywhere unless the sandtrout has terraformed the place for the worm first.

Watched this movie in theaters. Hands down the best sci-fi/fantasy movie that’s out there at the moment. I really felt the ‘power’ of things that were supposed to be powerful. I felt terrified for the characters when they were terrified. The consequences were truly real. A lot of stories nowadays will tell us that something in-story-universe is ‘powerful’ or ‘scary’. But then they die instantaneously whenever the writers need a convenient death. You never really feel the consequences or the ‘weight’ of it. This movie did it all right. Watch it in theaters!

Thank you, sir. I don't have the time to finish the Dune books yet. I find this video pleasing to my senses. I love the story of Dune and your voice is perfect to narrate Histories. Appreciate the artwork and the effort. Kudos to your team too. Thanks again!
