Hagga Basin

Region laid to waste by the war, partly sheltered by the Shield Wall.

The Hagga Basin is a massive depression in Arrakis' outer crust, protecting it from the worst of the planetary Coriolis Storms that scour most of the planet. Thanks also to the Shield Wall mountain range, it is one of the few locations on Arrakis where people permanently reside, aside from the hidden Fremen Sietches.

Details

The Hagga Basin contains a variety of geological formations and unique environments, such as the iron-rich sands of the Vermillius Gap, the deep Hagga Rift, the comparatively lush O'odham, and the irradiated Sheol, to name but a few.

Trivia

Vermillius: A word possibly derived from Vermilion.

• Vermilion: Vermilion means vivid reddish orange. The word traces to the Late Latin "vermiculus", which means "kermes." Kermes are the dried bodies of insects used to produce this ancient red dye.[1]. In the codex references a Kirab mentioning the color of Vermillius Gap to be red from blood soaked into this place, from the Sardaukar pogrom.
• Vermiculus: The word also means little worm.

Jabal Eifrit: The name for this place roughly translates to "Goblin Mountains" based on the codex, where weird wailing, the whispers full of malevolent cadence can be heard. When translated form Arabic source, Jabal Eifrit means "demon mountain", Al-gharb means West, Al-Janub means South, and Al-sharq means East. As a resuts all three regions can be translated to: Jabal Eifrit Al-gharb (West Goblin Mountains), Jabal Eifrit Al-Janub (South Goblin Mountains), and Jabal Eifrit Al-sharq (East Goblin Mountains).

O'odham: Used in lower case, o’odham refers simply to people, and in upper case, O’odham refers to speakers of the O’odham language.[2]

Sheol: Sheol can be translated to mean the grave or the “land of gloom and deep darkness”. [3]
