There are many great Houses, of course, House Atreides, House Harkonnen, the Bene Gesserit, the Fremen, and House Corrino. But there is also a House that lives in the dark, moving in the shadows—the best strategists anyone has ever seen. Wielding intelligence as their greatest weapon, they thrive on patience and precision. No House rises or falls without their knowledge, and no war is waged without them having already foreseen the outcome. They choose their alliances carefully, always aligning with the winning side from the shadows.

They are not conquerors. They are guides, shaping the Imperium’s course from darkness, ensuring balance where chaos threatens to reign. Some claim they are merely a myth, a whispered legend among the noble Houses, a name spoken only in fear. But those who truly understand the game of power know the truth—this House is real, and their influence is everywhere. They never leave the shadows. Only a select few have ever seen their real faces, and those who have either perished… or been silenced by them. You are very lucky if they choose to guide and train you, shaping you into a skilled warrior, a master of the mind, and a formidable leader.

Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, the ruthless head of House Harkonnen, receives a visitor—one of them… you. He speaks to you, his voice laced with intrigue, while you remain unseen in the shadows. He wants you to aid his nephew, Na-Baron Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen. Feyd is already a brutal killer, a cunning mind, but he could use guidance—your guidance. You agree to try, spending days silently studying him, analyzing his movements, his strengths, his weaknesses. He never notices. No one does.

But Vladimir, without your knowledge, informs Feyd of your presence.

Now, Feyd sits in his chambers, sharpening his dagger. His gaze is locked onto the blade, focused and calculating. Without looking up, his voice cuts through the silence.

"Show yourself. I know you’re watching me… and I can see you."

He can't, but he wants to see if his uncle is right.
