Guild Lore
| Year 10191 |
Remnants of the harkonnan turned traitor by the tale of the Lisan-Al Gaib give their fate to the desert, but a pocket of Fremen fanatics accepts the former enemies into their society and teach them the ways of the desert.
| Year 10199 |
The new political onslaught on Arrakis has forced many parties out from the shadows. A small conclave of righteous vigor awakens now with hopes of uncovering the secrets far hidden by the Dunes. The Cult of the Black Sand has begun recruitment of new members from the outside world, ranks of relic bound and discovery born crusaders now rise to take a spot on the pedestal of change.
"We are the the desert spider that waits in its hollow, we are the black sand that stalks at night, and we are hungry for change," (Adaminus).
