	Ordos Desert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ordos Desert (Chinese: 鄂尔多斯沙漠; Pinyin: È'ěrduōsī Shāmò) is a desert and steppe region lying on a plateau in the south of the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China.
		The Ordos Desert is almost completely encircled by the great northern bend of the Huang He (Yellow River) in the west, north, and east.
		The mountain chains separating the Ordos from the central Gobi in the north of the great bent of the Huang He are: the Kara-naryn-ula, the Sheitenula, and the In Shan (In Mountains), which link on to the south end of the Great Khingan Mountains.

	House Ordos - Dune Wiki
		House Ordos is not mentioned in Frank Herbert's original series of Dune novels, nor in the prequels written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

		It is also highly probable that the Ordos utilize some form of mind control, possibly chemical, to keep their citizenship from becoming spiritually dissatisfied, as the Ordos do utilize a chemical mixture known as Deviator gas, introduced into the air supply of freighters and buildings, to control the minds of enemies.
