Frank Herbert Trivia

1. Alia, Leto, and Ghanima Atreides were imbued with ancestral memories while in the womb. What were they called?

From Quiz Children of Dune

Answer: Pre-born

When a member of the Bene Gesserit drank the poison called Water of Life, she became a Reverend Mother and gained access to their genetic memory. If a woman was under the influence of a large amount of spice while pregnant, the same effect would be passed on to her fetus. The fetus would become aware and have thousands of years of memories before they had a chance to form their own personality, which could be quite dangerous. Alia became a pre-born when her mother, Jessica, became a Reverend Mother. Ghanima and Leto were pre-born because Chani was on a high-spice treatment before she died in childbirth. Despite having more experience than everyone else around them, combined, these pre-born still looked like children, and were treated as such.

From Quiz Children of Dune

Answer: Baron Vladimir Harkonnen

Those with genetic memories did not just have knowledge; they had the former personalities in their minds, too. They needed to learn to shut them out to retain control of their own bodies. Those who failed were called abominations. Alia was the sister of Paul, the leader of the Empire. When Paul wandered into the desert to die, Alia became regent, to rule until Paul's children were old enough. It was not public knowledge, but her maternal grandfather was the cunning Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, the man who had killed her father. Alia agreed to let the Baron be an advisor in her mind to help her cope with the stress of her job, but this just opened her up to further corruption.

From Quiz Dune Messiah
