The House Moritani (HM), is a noble house founded by Krez, Jhordi, and Hundro. We are focused on creating a fun core group of quality players modeling off of the lore based history of House Moritani and the Sardaukar from the Dune books and movies.

Purpose / Ethos

House Moritani aims to grow as a significant player in the competing factions of Arrakis to become a Minor House in Dune Awakening. We will use intrigue, diplomacy, and combat to further the policy of House Moritani on Arrakis.

Recruitment Process

We are recruiting and looking for people desiring to join a elite group of players aiming to attempting to focus on a core group of chill folks over sheer numbers . Players must pass a "blood" trial and then nominated by existing Sardaukar and voted on by the Sardaukar. If voted in, an initiate will become a Sardaukar and formal member of the guild. Please see #Application and #Recruitment channels for more information.

Ranks/Hierarchy

House Moritani is designed to be a flat organization in structure and hierarchy. Emphasizing that each formal member is a Sardaukar having distinct privileges/rights/level of trust & responsibilities having reached that rank.

We have three divisions:

Join our ranks, to rise among our three divisions:

1. Military Operations Division: serve with our Sardaukar battalion’s Weapon’s Master or Sword Master overseeing the Sardaukar Squad Leaders and Sardaukar troops serving as a soliders, melee experts, pilots, medics, and enforcers. (Sardaukar squad leaders are voted in by squad mates)

2. Clandestine Operations Division: serve as a Master of Assassins with or as a Sardaukar Agents as a scout and experts in offensive and defensive counterintelligence.

3. Logistics Operations Division: serve under our Master Steward as a Sardaukar Logistics Officer executing trade runs, harvesting, crafting & designing, building, and managing our spice mélange and Solaris.

(once you pass the blood trial to become a Sardaukar you have much influence on the direction of the guild and are a voting member)

Leadership

Our Viscount, Hundro is the leader of House Moritani. However, he has designated his two Great Bursegs as joint decision makers in his name Krez and Jhordi. All have experience in guilds and playing games such as WoW, Bannerlord, Eve Online, Star Citizen, and SWG.

Guild Lore

Based off the Dune books, in the annals of Dune, there are few names that strike fear into the hearts of their enemies like House Moritani. House Moritani’s liege, Viscount Moritani, is descended from ancient nobility within the Imperium. Hailing from the planet Grumman IV, we rose to prominence through sheer force of will. Forged in the crucible of conflict, House Moritani has carved out its dominion on Grumman IV with ruthless efficiency becoming a minor house closely aligned with the Padishah Emperor, ruler over the known universe and the Golden Lion Throne. Through our joint sacrifice, the Great House Corrino rose to the power in the Imperium.   Emperor Shaddam IV has graced us with executing his will through the force of a Sardaukar battalion here on Arrakis, Dune.

In Dune lore, the Sardaukar are unparalleled in their ferocity, hardened on the Imperium’s prison plant Salusa Secundas. Our initiates must survive a blood trial as difficult as the rains of Salusa, to become a Sardaukar. The Sardaukar are known as the Emperor’s blades, dominant and undefeated throughout the Imperium’s history.   

Known Allegiances or Rivalries

The historical animosity between House Moritani and House Atreides is a well-known aspect of our past. However, we are currently only formally allied to the House of Corrino and act on his behalf and proxy here on Dune.  Viscount Moritani commands we will serve our joint interests and ensuring the Harkonnen and Atriedes alike, obey the Imperium’s dictate on Dune.

Other Activities

This guild is primary focused on Dune Awakening and domination on Arrakis.
