Lore
γππ«π’π π’π§π¬γ
ββHouse Orethion, tracing its lineage back to Orestes, the mythological King of Sparta, was forged in the fires of ancient conflict. Orestes, famed for avenging the murder of his father, King Agamemnon, became a symbol of justice, duty, and martial excellence. These values were carried forward by his descendants, who, in the far future, would found House Orethion, named in honor of their legendary forebear.

ββThe early history of House Orethion was one of struggle and survival, as they carved out a place for themselves among the lesser houses of the Landsraad. Their fortunes changed dramatically during the Battle of Corrin, the decisive conflict that ended the Butlerian Jihad and gave birth to the Imperium as it would be known for millennia.
ββHouse Orethion, at that time a relatively minor house, was among those who answered the call to arms against the Thinking Machines. Fighting alongside the forces of House Atreides, the Orethions distinguished themselves in battle, their warriors displaying the same ferocity and tactical brilliance that had characterized their Spartan ancestors.
ββIn the final days of the battle, when the forces of humanity converged on the planet Corrin to defeat the last remnants of the Thinking Machines, House Orethionβs warriors played a crucial role in breaching the enemy's defenses. Fighting shoulder to shoulder with House Atreides, the Orethions helped to secure victory, earning them a place of honor among the great houses of the Imperium. Their valor on the battlefield did not go unnoticed, and the bond between House Orethion and House Atreides was forged in the crucible of war.

ββFollowing the Battle of Corrin, House Orethion was elevated in status, granted lands on the verdant world of Caladan as a reward for their service. Here, they established themselves as loyal vassals to House Atreides, dedicating their lives to the defense and prosperity of their liege lordβs realm. The Orethions were entrusted with the protection of key military installations and agricultural holdings, their warriors becoming an integral part of the Atreides' forces.
ββUnder the guidance of Duke Atreides, House Orethion flourished. They honed their military skills, developing a reputation as elite fighters and brilliant tacticians. Their loyalty was absolute, and their close alliance with House Atreides ensured their continued prominence within the political and military hierarchy of Caladan. For generations, the Orethions served faithfully, their bonds with the Atreides growing ever stronger.

ββWhen Duke Leto Atreides was granted stewardship of the desert planet Arrakis, House Orethion was among the first to pledge their support. The transition from the fertile lands of Caladan to the arid deserts of Arrakis was a daunting one, but the Orethions, true to their Spartan heritage, saw it as a challenge to be met with courage and determination.ββ
ββOn Arrakis, House Orethion quickly adapted to the new environment, their warriors becoming experts in desert warfare. They played a key role in protecting the spice production facilities, understanding the vital importance of melange to the Imperium. The Orethions were instrumental in securing the initial Atreides foothold on the planet, their warriors excelling in the harsh conditions of the desert.
