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 the lore based history of House Moritani and a battalion of 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, combat, trade and commercial strength 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. We will be focusing on building a core group of chill quality 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 #Apply here, #Overview and #organization channels on our discord for more detailed information. Or Direct Message Krez8921 / Jhordii on discord for more information.
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.
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. The Master positions are leaders of divisions and we will pick the people who we believe are the most qualified and show a desire to help the team. Burseg decisions with vote from the Sardaukar will make decisions on behalf of the Guild.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Viscount = Leader / Grand Strategy
Grand Bursegs = joint decision makers and executives over divisions / coordinates with Viscount on reocurring basis / lead council meetings with Masters
Masters = lead Operational Divisions and sit on council with Great Bursegs. There is currently 5 Master positions planned Bashar / Sword Master / Master of Assassins / Master Steward / Master of Accord for the following 4 Divisions currently below: Military, Clandestine, Foreign Affairs, and Logistics Operations.
Sardaukar: Made Members of the guild, have to be nominated and voted in by existing members. After acceptance as member you will get to pick your specialization below (not permanent). Additionally Sardaukar will have voting rights on decisions for the House - TBD.
Initiate: If you prove yourself by helping in various ways with either in-game and out of game methods (recruitment ect..) will help you be eligible for a vote. Doing this while playing with the other Sardaukar level members you must be nominated by one of them after a period of time. We suggest you find a Sardaukar mentor to show you how the game works. The Sardaukar will be looking to see if you are a team player, humble, and mature.

Guild Lore
According to the Dune books and in the annals of Dune, there are few names that strike fear into the hearts of their enemies like House Moritani. We are descended from ancient nobility within the Imperium. Hailing from the planet Grumman IV, we rose to prominence through sheer force of will. House Moritani has carved out its dominion on Grumman IV with ruthless efficiency becoming a noble 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.
The Emperor’s blades 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 in 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. Additionally through lore, it was the Moritani that destroyed House Ginaz. However, we are currently only formally allied to the House of Corrino and act on his behalf and proxy here on Dune. The Viscount commands we will serve our joint interests and ensuring the noble house gains promotion to a minor house status.
Other Activities
This guild is primary focused on Dune Awakening and domination on Arrakis.
