The Maas Kharet are a hostile group of NPCs that can be found scattered across The O'odham and Mysa Tarill in Hagga Basin, occupying Camps and Caves alike.
Lore
Nhala become the Sayaadina of the Maas Kharet. Originally, she shaped them through Albion Moushav. When he was killed, she stepped forward.
Beliefs
The Maas Kharet refer to the sandworms as "Tyrant Worms" and seek to locate and claim anything associated with the Fremen. However, others on Arrakis view the Maas Kharet not as the Fremen's successors, but merely as a group of fanatics.
Above all, they have completely distorted the traditional Fremen veneration of Shai-Hulud.
The Maas Kharet pray to the worms, make sacrifices of water (stolen from water transporters or the bodily fluids of unfortunate prospectors) to Shai-Hulud, the adopted avatar of their "Fremen" god. To true Fremen, such a sacrifice would be a spiritual perversion of the sacred rite of the Water of Life, or at the very least an unforgivable waste.
Stashes
Industrial byproducts, such as Carbide Scraps and Diamondine Dust, are closely guarded by the Maas Kharet in their most sacred site. The Maas Kharet have a particular affinity with this type of leather, and often make use of it in their clothing.
The Maas Kharet produce a cheap imitation of Fremen stillsuit tubing.
Troop composition
The Chosen are the elite warriors of the Maas Kharet cult, which makes its home at the old power station of Mysa Tarill. There are always four Chosen - Fire, Body, Tooth and Breath. Each is a symbolic part of the great sandworm
Headquarters
Mysa Tarill stands above a source of geothermal energy. House Harkonnen built a power plant was built to charge great cells. However, a massive sandworm shattered the rock barriers, laying the operation to waste. The process also killed an intruding worm, as it was exposed to the powerful electric currents of the assembled power cells.
Low-power, generated by the still semi-functional equipment within the plant, has somehow preserved the worm carcass. The intact worm has become a holy relic of the Maas Kharet cult. They are convinced the attack of the worm was ordained by God and see its preservation as a miracle.
Notable members
Notable members include:
- The Paranoid: The Maas Kharet are a fanatical cult created by Sayyadina Nahla (The Paranoid), to accomplish her mission of "finding the Fremen" and awaken the sleeper. Instead of finding the Fremen, she created her own version of the Fremen and named herself their prophet. "I need not believe. I only need to shape their belief. I will make my own awakening. I will complete my task in my own way."
