	The Landsraad
		Born to Paul Muad'Dib, the first Atreides emperor, and his consort, Chani Liet-Kynes, he overthrew the tyrannical rule of the Abomination, Alia Atreides, his aunt, took on the sandworm skin in a move that fundamental religionists have always hailed as the Incarnation, and ruled as God Emperor for over 3,500 years.
		Yet, in reality, it was the brute physical strength of the biologic adaptation of the sandworm that he had become that was the original source of his imperial power.
		From that moment on, religious awe and blind superstition, combined with the longevity of the sandworm he was becoming, made his rule inevitable.

		While I knew that Herbert was working at that time on what I called "Dune 4" -- later published as "God Emperor of Dune" -- the Dune series even at that time had not only a rich diversity, hundreds of unanswered questions, and an epic quality then unequaled in SF.
		Copyright problems, he said, kept him from presenting an introductory Helliconia Encyclopedia; after all, he remarked, you can't copyright something that has yet to be written.
