The Reclamation of House Mambino
Duke Mambino & Na-Duke Squid Mambino Exiled Sons of the Ouroboros
After generations of wandering exile, the bloodline of House Mambino has found its way to Arrakis, the crucible where only the strongest survive. The last heirs of their house—Duke Mambino and his half-brother, Na-Duke Squid Mambino—carry the burden of their ancestors' downfall, yet within them burns the ember of resurgence.
Their goal is simple yet near impossible: to rebuild the house that was lost, not in defiance of history, but in alignment with the eternal cycle of destruction and rebirth that their sigil, the Ouroboros, represents.
Purpose / Ethos
House Mambino: The Eternal Cycle Reforged
"From death, rebirth. From ruin, dominion. The Ouroboros turns once more."
House Mambino rises from the dust of forgotten glories, reforging its strength on the crucible of Arrakis. We are seekers of wisdom, masters of adaptation, and architects of destiny. Like the Ouroboros, we embrace the cycle—destruction is but a precursor to renewal, and those who stand with us shall share in our ascension.
Join us, and become part of something greater than a House—become a force of change, unshackled by fear, bound only by purpose. The desert tests all, but only those who endure shall shape the future. Will you claim your place in the cycle?

Leadership
House Mambino – Leadership & Experience
House Mambino is more than just a name—it is a force built on survival, strategy, and the will to endure. Led by a seasoned veteran of survival games, our guild is structured to thrive in the harsh, unforgiving world of Dune: Awakening.
Guild Leadership
At the helm of House Mambino is its leader, an experienced strategist and survivalist who has spent years mastering the mechanics of some of the toughest survival games, including ARK, Rust, Conan Exiles, The Forest, and more. This deep knowledge of survival mechanics, base-building, resource management, and PvP combat ensures that our House operates with efficiency, discipline, and foresight.
Guild Lore
House Mambino traces its origins to the early days of the Imperium, emerging as a minor noble house on the frontier world of Nethris IV, a barren yet resource-rich planet on the fringes of known space. Unlike other noble houses that relied on brute force or political maneuvering, Mambino built its strength on a philosophy of renewal, adaptation, and patience, symbolized by its sigil—the Ouroboros, the serpent eating its own tail, an emblem of the endless cycle of destruction and rebirth.
- From its inception, House Mambino was fascinated by the cycles of nature, genetics, and entropy. They believed that true power lay in the ability to manipulate the inevitable decay and renewal that governed all things, whether biological, economic, or political. As such, they invested heavily in biological sciences, intelligence gathering, and resource reclamation, making them experts in salvaging and repurposing what other houses deemed lost.
Rise and Fall of Nethris IV
- During the later years of the Butlerian Jihad, House Mambino thrived by offering its expertise in biological warfare—though not in the traditional sense. They did not craft forbidden thinking machines, but rather engineered living systems that could survive the harshest environments. On Nethris IV, they experimented with adaptive crops, regenerative medical techniques, and even enhanced human physiology, aiming to create a people who could endure and evolve through any catastrophe.
- However, their research attracted the suspicion of the Landsraad and the wrath of the Bene Tleilax, who saw Mambino’s work as encroaching on their domain. Worse still, whispers spread that House Mambino was dabbling in genetic modifications that defied the strict edicts of the Imperium—potentially even creating humans who could self-regenerate or extend their lifespans unnaturally.
- In a sudden turn of fate, Nethris IV was declared tainted by heretical science, and the great houses, led by the Corrino Emperor’s decree, stripped Mambino of its lands and holdings. Their research facilities were burned, and their people were scattered across the stars.
The Ouroboros Reborn
- Despite their downfall, House Mambino lived by its creed: From the Ashes, We Rise. Though landless and exiled, the surviving members of the house adapted once more, carving out a niche as mercenary scientists, intelligence brokers, and clandestine advisors to those willing to pay. They became nomads, moving from world to world, salvaging lost technology, selling their knowledge to noble houses, and continuing their experiments in the shadows.
- Some say they are allied with the Bene Gesserit, others believe they struck secret pacts with the Spacing Guild. Rumors persist that somewhere in the deep desert of Arrakis or another forgotten world, House Mambino is quietly rebuilding its strength, waiting for the right moment to emerge once more—when the cycle of history turns in their favor.
- For House Mambino, exile is merely another phase in the eternal cycle. Their time will come again.
Known Allegiances or Rivalries
House Mambino moves with the cycle, neither bound by permanent allegiances nor hindered by lasting rivalries. We recognize strength, respect strategy, and adapt as the sands shift. Those who align with our purpose may find an ally, while those who stand against us will face the weight of our resolve. The Ouroboros turns—only time will reveal who stands beside us and who is left behind.
