Politics on Dune

[agroson1]

Here is where one can become enlightened as to certain inner workings on the Planet Dune....and tis here that certain mysteries may unfold...

[agroson1]

The Realm is primarily overseen by the forces of the Emperor and his Sardukaur Troopers, and he would like perceptions to remain that way. However, it is known to be fact that there are constant power struggles within the Realm. The struggles of Church and State being first, and foremost among them.

It is no secret the the Holy Church of the Instumentality seeks to usurp power from the Monarchy. Yet there is the threat of the third, most unkown of these powers, that could sway things in either diriection at any given time. This would be the mysterious Spacing Guild. Those whose abilities are a closely guarded secret within the Imperium. A secret that shall remain...for now.

At this time, let us address the Church...as we have at least some small inkling as to the intentions of the Monarchy.

The Holy Church of the Instrumentality is represented by the High Lord Papal...chosen emmisary of the Twelve Gods. Oddly enough, compared to most religions, they are not recognized by individual names nor physical aspects. They are considered by the peoples to represent the twelve states of being, which even the Church has failed to define. Nonetheless, these beings have held sway over the major belief system of this world for more than two centuries.

Their manifestation on this earthly plain has been embodied by the Preists of Vieltoor, and represented by the High Lord Papal. The Papal has held his seat of power for more than half a century.

It is rumored that there are Priests of Vieltoor that have turned against the Church's teachings ...those who believe the Twelve Gods are false, and not Gods at all, but otherworldly beings. Thus far it is merely considered rumor, as there are no official records or reported sightings of renegade Priests of the Order.


next up, we shall consider more in-depth politics between the Major Houses....

By following the same beliefs and making the same decisions, one wears Life's path into a circular rut, going nowhere, accomplishing nothing, making no progress. With God's help, though, we can turn a sharp corner in the circle and achieve enlightenment.
