Rain hammered Caladan's towers, a cold, relentless drumming that had scored the Atreides legacy for generations. The imperial decree had arrived like a blade, cleaving their world from water to sand.

The shift from their rain-swept home to the desert's furnace loomed, and with it, the long shadow of the Harkonnens.
