It is the year 10,148 AG. The aging Elrood Corrino IX sits upon the Golden Lion Throne of the Galactic Padishah Empire. Members and agents of other noble houses, like Atreides or Harkonnen, surround him seeking favor and advantage.
If you think you have what it takes to survive, or even prevail in, the intrigues and affairs of the Imperial capital, then the planet Kaitain is the place for you!

If You ARE Currently Writing in this “Affairs of Kaitain” Thread
The founding members of this story thread intend and hope to keep the tale entirely within the canon of Frank Herbert’s wonderful and elaborate Dune universe. The idea is that our story could actually have happened, unrecorded until now, in the setting of the canon novels and not be contradictory to the history and events in them. To that end, Hard_Rom has graciously agreed to serve as arbiter of canon for this “Affairs of Kaitain” thread. Please post any questions you have in this regard for his (and others’) comments and his ruling on the OOC for The Affairs of Kaitain thread.
Here are some etiquette guidelines for our role-playing:
I think these five make a good start. If anyone wants to propose any further etiquette guidelines for our role-play, please do so at the OOC for The Affairs of Kaitain.
Here are some etiquette guidelines for our role-playing:
1. Respect Character Autonomy. It is a basic courtesy in interactive role-play writing that you do not put significant words, if any, in another writer's character's mouth, and you do not assume another writer's character makes decisions or takes significant action without that other writer's permission.
2. Be Consistent. Make sure you know what is going on in the other writers' posts well enough that you do not post some action or event that contradicts what another writer has already established happened.
3. Note the Details. Keeping the story in canon is already discussed above. You can find an extensive background for our story at The Expanded Dune Wiki, and many other places on the internet, with indexed details specific to this role-play added at the OOC for The Affairs of Kaitain. As you contribute to the story, make sure your actions and descriptions follow the information provided by those resources, and are likewise consistent with any details already established by other writers earlier in the thread. Any uncertainties or questions you have in these regards should be presented on the OOC thread for comment and resolution.
4. Be Literate. It makes it easier and more enjoyable for everyone if writers follow the conventions of English spelling and grammar.
5. Proofread! See 4, above.
