Guild Lore

House Windraven, once minor vassals of House Ecaz, was stripped of its holdings after a fabricated piracy scandal orchestrated by rival House Naluen (10 176 A.G.). Valconyae enacted Protocol Corvus, evacuating loyalists to Arrakis. From hidden Sietch Nadir the House rebuilds via stealth ornithopter research (Project Noctis), micro-spice trade, and covert alliances with local Fremen. Their long-term goal: expose Naluen, regain Landsraad standing, and prove that patience of shadow outlasts any storm.
