General Information
House Spinnette is a Great House, and one of the 25 voting Houses within the Landsraad.
They occupy a paradoxical space within the Landsraad, standing as one of the twenty-five voting pillars of Imperial power. They are defined by a culture where politeness is a weapon and coyness is a shield. On their homeworld of Draemh, the distinction between a master chef and a master poisoner is non-existent. Both require the same "double calling", an absolute unwavering devotion to discipline. Whether garnishing a plate or severing a lineage, a Spinnette operates with a precision that is considered beyond reproach.
Their cuisine is feared and craved in equal measure, centered on the legendary Marosdeer. It is a dish so transcendent that the Imperium’s most paranoid nobles willingly risk the threat of the poisoned cup just to taste it. In the high-society salons of the Landsraad, the implied danger of a Spinnette feast is treated as a "rare spice", a thrill for those of refined taste who believe they are important enough to be spared, or bold enough not to care.
House Spinnette views itself as the ultimate arbiter of the Laws of Kanly. To them, assassination is not a dark trade, but a mathematical necessity for Imperial stability. Their core doctrine posits that the War of Assassins is the most humane form of conflict. By surgically removing a single leader, they prevent the clumsy, mass-scale slaughter of planetary warfare. Their presence on Arrakis is a calculated political move. By lobbying for the Atreides-Harkonnen feud to remain within the strict bounds of Kanly, they ensure that the "Art of Death" remains a disciplined, legal, and profitable enterprise.
Represented by the envoy and chef Daryna Danylo, House Spinnette has embedded itself within the power structure of Harko Village. Recognizing House Harkonnen as a "House of appetites", Spinnette caters to their hedonism while quietly policing the legalities of their kills.
Completing Landsraad Missions can increase a player's personal standing with the House, unlocking tiered rewards independent of the weekly Landsraad vote outcome.

Envoy Dialogue
Daryna Danylo: Do you have business with me or House Spinnette?
Player: Tell me about yourself.
Daryna Danylo: My name is Daryna Danylo. I have the distinct privilege of serving the Landsraad representatives of House Spinette, here on Arrakis.
Daryna Danylo: Though mine is a double calling. I'm also a chef sought out by the nobles of many houses. Good taste unites us.
Player: I thought your House was known for producing skilled assassins.
Daryna Danylo: That is not untrue... Our society produces paragons among assassins and poisoners, as well as culinary masters.
Player (Option A): How can anyone eat a meal prepared by a society of master poisoners?
Daryna Danylo: Our food is THAT good. The things I can do with Marosdeer would make a paranoid man risk it all.
Daryna Danylo: Besides, ours is a society that cleaves to the laws of kanly and the rules of conduct in a War of Assassins. We are that code's most devoted servants.
Player (Option A): So are you merely a master chef, or are you also an assassin?
Daryna Danylo: Ours is a culture where politeness and coyness walk hand in hand. It is vulgar to say who is and who is not a practicing assassin. I will say that Harko Village offers multiple levels of opportunity for my House, not the least of which is the demand for a skilled chef. House Harkonnen is a House of appetites after all
Player (Option B): Meals worth dying for?
Daryna Danylo: As you say...
Daryna Danylo: Our food is THAT good. The things I can do with Marosdeer would make a paranoid man risk it all.
Daryna Danylo: Besides, ours is a society that cleaves to the laws of kanly and the rules of conduct in a War of Assassins. We are that code's most devoted servants.
Player: Tell me more about House Spinnette.
Daryna Danylo: From our homeworld of Draemh, House Spinnette produces the finest assassins, deployed throughout the Imperiums... for a price.
Player (Option A): Everyone must assume you to be dangerous and unscrupulous.
Daryna Danylo: Dangerous, yes. However, our code of conduct is disciplined and beyond reproach.
Daryna Danylo: We cleave to the laws on kanly. We perfected the precepts of a War of Assassins. Following these rules costs far less lives than open war.
Daryna Danylo: Our precise discipline in the art of death actually saves lives lives across the Imperium. The math does not lie.
Daryna Danylo: That is why we've come to Arrakis, why we lobbied among the Landsraad for the conflict between Atreides and Harkonnen to be a War of Assassins.
Player [HONORABLE]: Death as a clokad and dagger commodity leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
Daryna Danylo: That sounds like an Atreides sentiment. Their lofty ideals are commendable, but the conflict on Arrakis proves ill-suited it is to the universe.
Daryna Danylo: We cleave to the laws on kanly. We perfected the precepts of a War of Assassins. Following these rules costs far less lives than open war.
Daryna Danylo: Our precise disciplin in the art of death actually saves lives lives across the Imperium. The math does not lie.
Daryna Danylo: That is why we've come to Arrakis, why we lobbied among the Landsraad for the conflict between Atreides and Harkonnen to be a War of Assassins.
Player: Goodbye.
