Welcome to the Sisterhood, an all-female-character and Bene Gesserit-themed guild. Interested in joining us? Make sure to read the recruitment conditions under "Recruitment Process". Then follow the discord link in the guild summary.

Purpose / Ethos

The Sisterhood's purpose is to:

  • represent the interests of the Bene Gesserit on Arrakis through social manipulation of greater and lesser houses
  • safeguard the coming of the Kwisatz Haderach in the turmoil of the War of Assassins through subterfuge and counter-intelligence
  • find and continue to seed the Fremen with superstition through exploration, infiltration and our Missionaria Protectiva
  • secure our flow of spice through establishment of trade deals with smugglers
  • provide our agents on Arrakis with a safehouse where they can commune in privacy

Recruitment Process

The guild is recruiting, but there are some conditions:

  • Must be 16 years or older.
  • Must (role)play a female character in the game (even if you are not a female yourself—players can be any gender in real life).
  • Must speak English to the degree that you can string sentences together (but no need to be a native English speaker).

For more information, please contact Sabara through the Sisterhood Discord channel. More moderators for recruitment will be added in the future.

Ranks/Hierarchy

Sisterhood follows the hierarchy of the Bene Gesserit:

  • Reverend Mother

The highest ranking member in our Sisterhood. They have undergone the Spice Agony and guide our interests on Arrakis.

  • Sister

The bulk of our members are "regular" sisters of varying age, skill and occupation.

  • Acolyte

The youngest members in training who are mastering their skills and are groomed for a certain purpose or occupation.

  • Initiate

Young prospects. They have no actual rank and are not yet part of our Order proper.


Then there are specialty ranks that are granted based on skills and occupation:

  • Truthsayer

Specialized in the ways of truth trance. They are often sent out as emissaries to other guilds, helping them while relaying information to us.

  • Imprinter

Specialized in the ways of imprinting. They are often used as concubines for house leaders, breeding purposes or as spies.

  • Missionara Protectiva

Specialized in seeding primitive societies and building superstition. Following the teachings of the Azhar Book, missionaries are sent to commune with Fremen.

  • Proctor

Specialized in teaching initiates and acolytes in the ways of the Bene Gesserit. They are often accomplished sisters or Reverend Mothers.

  • Sleeper Agent

Specialized in espionage and counter-intelligence. They are sisters who act as locals while rooting out other spies.

Leadership

Our Mother Superior is Gaius Helen Mohiam. We answer to the Reverend Mothers appointed by her. We are currently awaiting appointment of a Reverend Mother who will lead our interests on Arrakis.

Guild Lore

It is the year 10199 AG. The Order of the Bene Gesserit stands at a pivotal moment in its history. Jessica's daughter is to be wed to the Harkonnen Feyd-Rautha which is said to produce the Kwisatz Haderach. A general feeling of anticipation and excitement is felt in our Sisterhood, but it is tempered by a feeling of unease. Certain events are taking place on the planet of Arrakis that worry the Reverend Mothers.

The failure of the plot against the Atreides has started a War of Assassins on the planet. The Sisterhood must strike an odd balance between mingling in the conflict and avoiding the discovery of their hand in it. Rooting out dangerous assassins who might complicate things for the Bene Gesserit is a top priority, yet all must seem as if the Bene Gesserit is merely an onlooker.

And another development is causing unease, for the Fremen are missing. Millennia-worth of work by our missionaries is at risk of being undone, which might lead to unforeseen complications for our agents and our plans.

More dangers lurk on Arrakis as multiple lesser houses have established themselves on the planet, each trying to get their hands on the much-coveted spice. And as not all favor the Sisterhood, old spice lines maintained for the Bene Gesserit are under stress, leading to shortages all across the Imperium.

As the stakes are higher than ever, Mother Superior Gaius Helen Mohiam has ordered the establishment of a Chapter House on Dune. She has deemed that a continuous presence of our sisters on the planet is vital in safeguarding our interests. Our agents will infiltrate houses both overtly and covertly. Truthsayers, imprinters, missionaries, sleeper agents ... the Sisterhood is throwing everything it has at the desert planet in the hope of keeping the situation under control.

Known Allegiances or Rivalries

The Bene Gesserit know that there are no sides. Whatever house serves our interests, we "ally" with to the outside world. We of the Sisterhood are orthodox in our ways. We follow the guiding principles of the Bene Gesserit and no more. Hence, we condemn Bene Gesserit gone rogue.

Other Activities

The Sisterhood serves not only as a guild that can be joined but also as a platform for people who want to roleplay a sister of the Bene Gesserit while in the confines of another guild. This means you can be a part of any house or guild and still commune and roleplay with us both in our Discord channel and in game.
