Out of Character (OOC) Chat
Should our estimable Game Master not return, I would like to start a game using this House. I may not use the Game Master's existing setup, though I do have ideas to build on that. There would be three factions within the House, mirroring the three main sects of Judaism (Sadducee, Pharisee, and Essene) during Hasmonean rule over Judea (the historical inspiration for many established facts). The Sadducees embraced Greek cultural influences, the Pharisees rejected them, and the Essenes preferred not to sully themselves with such worldly matters. This ties in well with the Game Master's idea of the House vying for the Caladan succession, as House Atreides claims a connection to the legendary Greek king Agamemnon. The Sadducees were thus pro-Atreides and the Pharisees were anti-Atreides. Her two husbands were Sadducees and Atreides supporters, while Lady Salome is a Pharisee and has divorced the House from their former masters. Or something like that. Thoughts? Opinions?
