We are House Locusta.
Strong. Determined. Loyal. We are a unit of like-minded individuals with a simple objective: survive as a family. We specialize in different occupations that can cater to any role you may see on the harsh landscape of Arrakis.
We are primarily an Xbox-focused group. Our sole focus is to build a new Arrakis.
We are seeking individuals to delve out the riches of Dune. We ally with House Atreides. If you’d like to join, message one of our leaders, through the official Discord channel. And we will get the spice flowing.
Remember, Fear is the mind-killer.
Purpose / Ethos
House Locusta, although being strong participants and forerunners in the Jihadist front, run a trade and entertainment village in the open desert by the name of Jihara that is welcoming to all. Jihara houses a market, coliseum, casino, and melange lounge to distract weary travelers, if only for a moment, from the harsh conditions of Arrakis; as well as armed guards to keep the rabble to a minimum. Other endeavors House locusta partake in are holding council meetings with other guilds to discuss territory and trade as well as helping set and uphold the rules of Kanly.
Recruitment Process
Recruitment is not limited to Dune Awakening's Official Discord but our primary channel of recruitment. A lot is done there by means of recruitment posters and simply chatting with other members. We also recruit by means of "natural selection" through meeting worthy recruits on other games and mentioning Dune Awakening
Ranks/Hierarchy
House Locusta functions as a traditional Dune House with Duke Locusta being the leader of the House followed by Count Locusta acting as right hand. From there things are structured into roles and officers overseeing squads built off of said roles.
Leadership
Duke Locusta and Count Zaneo Locusta are the founding members and current leadership for House Locusta. Both active in the Dune Awakening community by means of Official Discord and Wiki for Dune Awakening as well as facilitators and promoters of growth for small guilds.
Guild Lore
House Locusta is a House Minor of Caladan, founded under the tutelage of the Old Duke Paulus of House Atreides.
Merrick Locusta was of ancient stock, that of which harkens back to the ancient times of Old Earth. A perfect candidate for the Bene Gesserit breeding program was Merrick. And so House Atreides gained two new additions that day of the kidnapping of Merrick Locusta in the forms of Zaneo and Galahad Locusta, the offspring of Merrick Locusta. The Sisterhood had sold the duo off to the highest bidder.
Orphaned to House Atreides, the brothers were trained vigorously in the great schools of the empire. Zaneo, taking a liking to the blade, was sent to the Isle of Ginaz to train under the Noret family. Galahad decided a different path in the School of the Mentat and eventually falling under the mentorship of Thufir Hawat.
In the years leading to the death of the Old Duke, Paulus began to recognize promise and great military prowess in the two Locusta brothers. The Old Duke raised the two himself, but knew in his heart they were more than Atreides, they were Locusta, a name in itself worthy of a House of Imperial standing. And so it was the Old Duke Paulus granted a new House his blessing in his final days. House Locusta was born and sworn fealty to House Atreides.

Other Activities
House Locusta was started as a Dune Awakening guild, but the roots go deeper than Arrakis. Count Locusta has ran a guild by the name of Brother's Grimm on ESO which the Duke became a part of after meeting the Count years prior. We were menaces on the seas in Sea of Thieves with Count as our Captain. After that we turned to DayZ and found a love for survival games as well as community driven games. Known for our "swarm-like" raid tactics we soon took on the name Livonia Locusts and quickly dominated our server. Eventually we turned to Arma Reforger and stumbled upon Arma Life community servers where we ran security for the North East Elite and fell in love with the scope and community participation for a player modded server. All of this is what brought us here to Dune Awakening: A deep sense of community all packaged with a sandbox survival game.
Other games of note that House Locusta take part in are Halo, Enlisted, Chivalry 2, Rogue Company, Valheim, countless RPGs, and Warhammer Darktide.
