"The Old Duke is dead. The inevitable change begins."

All the effort put into it or was it in vain? The death of Paulus Atreides (aka The Old Duke), whom all House Atreides lament today, has of course brought his son Leto Atreides and all the people to Arrakeen. It is very sad to run the risk of losing a very well-organized society that he created… The question is, what now?

In fact, this is a harbinger of an incredibly complex future. Now spending time in spice harvesting or other dirty works, Leto Atreides is hereinafter referred to as Duke Leto Atreides I -who in the following years will be called "Leto the Just" and "Red Duke." For 10,140 years there had not been such an impartial and compassionate leader. He just doesn't know that yet…

But he will have a very big problem ahead, Baron Harkonnen.
