Dune Lore: The Famine Times, Origin of The Scattering

- The empire had seen more than 3000 years of stability prior to the famine, stability mankind had never before known. When the God emperor died there was a political collapse of macroscopic proportion. The effect went well beyond the political realm into the most essential economic aspects of human life. Leto’s empire had been a collection of entangled economies bound together by a central political power. Leto had been that power. Many of these interlocking economies contain entire planetary systems and even whole sectors containing several systems and others were limited to single worlds. Each of these economies depended on faster than light space travel in order to maintain themselves. But space travel required spice. During the rule of the God-Emperor Leto II, the planet Arrakis had been terraformed. It was no longer referred to as Dune. The changing of the world's environment had lead to the death of the sandworms, which meant that spice production ceased as well.

It's crazy how many pictures of the god emperor exist and how there all different. I like the sand trout armor for his youth and the head sticking out of a pigmy worm with tiny little raptor arms for most of his life span.
yeah it's fun to find art that most closely fits my image of him
This channel evolved in the best way possible since it was “Ideas of Ice and Fire”
I'll agree with So-crates
Not that much of a leap to go from A Song of Ice and Fire to the Dune Novels.
@@WorgenGrrl I’m talking about how he was strictly only summaries, narration, and theories when he was IoIaF. But now Quinn does lots of comedy skits with organism and shows his face always. He still has the cool wistful music and talks about dune like he always has, now though he’s grown more into his own person here.
And it was AMAZING then, now its UNRIVALED!
Absolutely! ...So-Crates. ;)
Heretics and Chapterhouse are the two Dune books I have read the fewest times (two or three times each) so they are least present in my memory. Nice to be reminded of some important points from that book.
The quality of this video was mind-blowing! You made the concepts of the Famine Times and the natural social and economic fallout sound like a professional documentary. Excellent work!
The big point of Dune is to be aware. Aware of your own feelings, and the feelings of others. Awareness brings you to a state of learning. In your learning state your mind becomes open. The open mind leads to empathy. Empathy leads to love. Love is the most dangerous weapon in the universe. Dune, amirite?
Sounds like a big red pill to me
Love is an abomination
I thought the point was about teenage girls falling for much older men?
@@LuciFeric137 Then you being a product of Love are an abomination.
@@WorgenGrrl vehementi daemonium Saecula VIVIVI. Mind your own business. You have been warned .
I was always fascinated by the stories of what would of happened between God Emperor and Heretics, thankyou for the investigation!
"Scattering of Dune"
Or
"Dune: Scattering"
@@thegoodwin By Brian Herbert ans Kevin J Anderson 😝
@@thesinfultictac5704 , in BH and KJA's version of "Scattering of Dune," it'll be a rip-off of Fallout, Borderlands, and Total Recall meets bioengineered Talking Horses and with hints dropped here and of a malfunctional HAL-9000 named Ibll Tegas, which is anagram of Bill Gates.
Busting out two videos in three hours, Muad'dib!!!
This scattering is such a rich area barely touched ....
Brilliant video...
Leto saw it all.....
Amazing how this entire dune world came from one person’s mind

I’m so glad I was wildly financially irresponsible and recently bought a copy the Dune Encyclopedia (COVID Shopping). I’m *really* looking forward to reading it now!!

amazing, thank you all, it's been an incredible journey, just keeps getting better. Much love.
Very cool! I think cyborgs was definitely one part of it. If you think about the way the universe was in Heretics & Chapter house, it pretty much flip-flopped everything in the time of the old empire. The way everything was in book one got pretty much turned upside down through the last two books. I think that all culminated with the sisterhood being merged with the honored Matres . My overall Take from the ending was like that of Abraham Lincoln ending the Civil War. Instead of two factions killing each other off until one is the ultimate victor; I think what Frank Herbert was going with here is the idea that the merging of the two factions would be the best solution. Perhaps the idea of cyborg (evil robotics blended with humans) was a kind of side line parallel to reflect how everything Else in the dune universe would become.
Too bad the original Dune Encyclopedia is out-of-print.
Good to hear another Dune lore video from Quinn! Thanks.
Out of print and non canon, books 7 & 8 are based on notes left by Frank Herbert in a locked 📦. So, the Dune Encyclopedia does not really follow the Dune story.
Thanks Quinn. Excellent as always.
I watch this and think the Dune universe is so massive it is a shame there are only 6 books in the original series.
I love the original series! I'm ve read it over 10 times... Mainly because I bought the Brian Herbert books and I struggled and eventually gave up on them... The disappointment was too much
It's been too long since I read these books. My memory is that spice-less space travel was rediscovered, not invented. Someone realized that if humanity came from Earth and spice from Arrakis, then humanity had to have had faster than light technology.
The problem with pre-spice FTL flight was that it needed a thinking machine, which were anathema. Human guidance had a 50% or higher chance of flying into an uncomputed star or planet.
Before we could fold space, we could still travel, it just took a long time.
So, would the famine times be the “Great Typhoon Struggle” Leto hinted at in Children of Dune? Humanity would never be the same after the struggle after Lego’s death.
@Quinn gotta say, your comprehension, interpretation, and explanation of these much loved books is beyond impressive. You exercise a level of storytelling that is very worthwhile. Thanks, and best regards.
I wonder if Siona ever regretting killing Leto.
I think that she had to know what was going to happen, considering what happened to her in the desert, and went through with it anyways as that was what was needed to be done to complete The Golden Path.
The god emperor voice work just makes me smile. Great videos. Keep up the good work! :)
I don't mean to nag, but is there any update on the Ultimate Guide to Dune: Chapterhouse video?
Last time I remember it mentioned it was supposed to be released last december.
I think hes doing a couple videos before releasing it according to his community post
5 months later.....🤔
Its out now!
I've got a theory about what the great enemy was meant to be: face dancers in control of thinking machines. Since the facedancers gained independence by taking many human lives, the commentary here would be that the great enemy is ourselves. The commentary on the use of thinking machines would be abuse of technology, which you have talked about before.
I was pretty sure the great enemy was just social stagnation, like, just like today's world is smaller than it used to be, the galaxy has become interconected, dune happens in an era where single political entities have the technological capability to rule entire galaxies.
There is also the fact that in the universe, our galaxy is just a small tiny point of light.
The machines have been defeated already once, so the great enemy was having all your eggs in one basket.
Be it centralization of power, or of human habited space.
That was my take at least.
Its been decades since I read the Dune series. I appreciate your deep dives catching bits that I either never caught or completely forgot. Keep at it.
I think I legitimately like watching your videos more than most others.
amazing dude, you're channel is amazing!
Thanks Quinn! It's been aong time since I last reread Dune, and your your clear-minded analyses have been a great resource leading up to Dune's premiere.
Great video! Sight back just a tad from the light source, my friend. I love your devotion to these great works!
Can I just say that I love your intro music. I threw my phone in my car and this video started playing on its own. Even though I couldn't see the screen I knew it was one of your videos!
_Love these videos!_ Thank you for all your time and effort!
I love the quips w/ Organism! Keep it up, Quinn!
Thanks for posting - I'm enjoying the subplot with the organism! It brings levity and is endearing!
Outstanding series you have produced. I really enjoy the art.
Really enjoy the tone of these videos. Great editing and lush art (with excellent artist captions). Keep up the good work! 💪🏻
Your videos are always so detailed. Excellent job.
I wish the Dune encyclopedia was still in print. Taking it out of cannon was a mistake.
This is such a well put together channel I really enjoy it 👍🏻
I love how Quinn sticks with the Dune Encyclopedia as reference.
So Cybermen are inevitable
DELETE
Love your channel, thanks!
Another great video, Quinn.
The fact that Odrade said "Cyborg Him" 😂😂😂
The story behind the story is so fascinating with Dune. Really what makes it an amazing saga
Humankind if we are ever space facing we may end up a lot more machine than human. All that radiation and suspended animation have not be feasible.
10/10 Quinn. Thanks for the lore compilation.
Ouinn, your imagination with analysis of Dune Saga keeps getting better with every video. Really admire the work, Brother
such great quality videos, a shame they don't get more views!
Excellent commentary Quinn.
Fabulous as always
I like the AI thingy for back and forth, it's like the exact right amount of cheese to add just enough flavour to a dish. *Chefs kiss*
Great vid as usual 👍
Love your work! I never made it to chapterhouse so it's great to hear what the contents are like.
New subscriber here 👋 Love to binge- listen to your vids while working myself 🥰I just finished the first book a few weeks back (yes, I know, late to the game - but I'm German, so no native English speaker and really wanted to read the original books, so now that I'm feeling more confident, I'm finally catching up 😁) Guess I got a heck load more reading to do 😅
Love your work
Awesome as always!
Superb show! Thank you.
Awesome video!
man, Quinn just gets better. im not totally unconvinced that he isn't high when making some of these.
Love these videos!
I love your Dune content I really love whenever you talk about God Emperor Of Dune my favorite Dune novel
Always awesome!
I am very happy to have found your channel.
I'm so glad!
oh nos quinn proteck ya neck!
great work with explaining this for us … with a humor to lighten it up - you should a sesh for us sometime on humor in dune lore, its there.
Up early enough to see them just uploaded.
Okay but why did Leto allow the famine times to happen?
To keep off upcoming stagnation, people had to be put through drastic times to adapt. Like many natural changes, many would not make it.
Another great hat Mr. Quinn..
Excellent job 👏
Great video
I was wondering if you will ever start making content again? I love all your videos. :O)
Quinn.....have you or will you ever make an audio book of the complete saga of DUNE? I cant read these books without hearing your VOICE IN MY HEAD....I would pay for that audio book!!!
Great video.
This is fascinating
I had previously overlooked the many parallels between Dune and Warhammer 40,000 (miniature military tabletop battle strategy game). The age of strife of WH40k and this age of famines here in Dune. In Warhammer the whole thing was a consequence of reliance upon technology and entrusting too much of humankind’s’ governance with AI. In Dune it seems a cause was the reliance upon spice for warp speed travel. If you follow the 40k lore very deeply at all, you’d find similarities that are undeniable. They’re both great. THANKS FOR SHARING ABOUT THIS!! I ought to read those books you made mention of that highlight these times, and the encyclopedia! Scarier still, is how our humankind is truly on a similar course, veering towards the timeline just before the age of famine in Dune. So many humans would love to scream it from the mountaintops, “Green Light!! Go!! Apocalypse in Full Effect, the horns are a ‘tootin!!”. People seem to genuinely want to either live out Revelations, or would like to think that they were there when it happened, or maybe they’d just like to think that they lived during a very exciting and momentous chapter of mankind’s history. I feel that life itself is exciting. Enough not to feel any morbid desires to see firsthand the end of our World as we know it.
That settles it then.
I'll be getting a Neuralink.
Discovered the channel after watching the new Dune movie(masterpiece), so happy i stumbled here :)
cant wait for chapter house episode why did you give up Quinn after the heretics novel ?
3,000 years of stability? No, I think it was more enforced stagnation with a purpose, when Leto transcended, humanity would explode across the galaxy, without the spice to extend life the major birthrate would have to explode just to maintain, only with much more a resistance to prescience, due to Leto's own breed program. Any of humanity that over specialize, something Leto well knew, would die out or be forced to completely change who the people in question were.
What does Organism know
Keep it up man you are a hero in my eyes
Another fantastic video Quinn. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Please try and take advantage of the hype for the Dune movie, its my sincerest belief that you would have many more subscribers if more people were aware of you. Do a simple video like "What to expect in Dune (2021)" with a quick summation of the movie & where it will go from there. People eat that stuff up.
Pretty good video! When I was reading God Emperor of Dune, I had a feeling that machines or AIs were being foreshadowed and the information produced from this research tops it off!
I'm one of those who still thinks the Face Dancers made infinitely better antagonist because of the abilities and complications exhibited through Rakian Chief Priest Hedley Tuek for example. That AI angle was lazy, and overplayed for the depth that was the Dune universe. Dune went from being extraordinary, creative and philosophical to mundane, stereotypical and boring... But that's just my opinion.
In God Emperor of Dune, the God Emperor may have stopped the rise of the machines on Ix. At the end of Chapterhouse Dune, Daniel and Marty are advanced Face Dancers. If there were to be machines or some sort of AI, it would be used as a distraction by highly evolved Face Dancers or Tleilaxu against the Humans so they can launch their dominance in all aspects of human societies across the universe.
Remember that Dune was written 50 years ago. It wasnt "stereotypical" then to go that route.
You are going to have over 1 million subscribers when the movie comes out!
It gave birth to so much energy and change and explorations....
Thank u so much for this video. Long live the fighters!
Hey Quinn.
I wonder if the ships missing in early holtsman travels were actually captured by the same net that Dunkin avoided in chapter house.
Your channel pattern is interesting, lots of subs, but not the same proportion of subs to views as the other channels i watch.
Can you make videos about the houses in Dune universe. Not just the two main houses but the others too. Pls Thanks
That hat rocks, dude.
yo my friend get a dasung screen. people with glasses benefit especially. love your vids. love dune. I'm gonna reading hyperion cantos cause of you! thanks so much! have you checked out nova by Delaney?
Quinn, ever done a mushroom or Ayahuasca meditation? Would appreciate a vid of it if so
Came for the Ideas, stayed for the Trollion
I'd love to see you look into Five Star Stories by Mamoru Nagano.
More please
The Dune Encyclopedia is so great probably the greatest dune related material that isn't written by Frank Herbert himself.
Are there any good "art of dune" collection books? I'd like to have some pre-movie art...
I hope you are well young man.
love what u do ? could omnus return
Dude be careful with that “organism”, it might be a lost copy of Omnius hanging out in your pc, waiting to strike!
Glad I'm not the only one thinking on those lines....still, I don't think Organism's going to win out, no matter how much chrome it buys, its still just Organism. Its not how much chrome your packin, its how your mind uses it.
Quinn, thank you for reviewing the Dune Universe's many rich, but sometimes misremembered, building blocks in such detail. As longtime fans, your videos remind us of Herbert's exceptional worldbuilding and hypnotically addicting prose.
Cool music
This cyborg talk kinda helps the bridge to Brian’s notion that Daniel and Marty are AI. Maybe the improved facedancers are AI-fused cyborgs with organic tissues. Helps them both blend in as intended and accounts for how they are suddenly able to infiltrate memories and personas with the use of the T shaped device they tried on Duncan’s tutor.
Sounds very much like another scenario played out in another genre: Cyborgs become prevalent; the Machine culture finds out and infiltrates them; Then, something similar to the cry: "We are the Borg" is heard across the shattered empire of Man...
Question: was there ever a desire detected to resurrect the Corrino House even out of nostalgia? Any ideas floated for it after or even during Leto ll's reign?
None that I can remember, the time that would make sense to me is the 100-200 years terraforming Arrakis took
Through Harq Al-Ada the Atreides are also Corrino.
"The Famine Times!"
Normies cannot afford "Dune Encyclopedia!"
