2. What animal is on the coat of arms of House Atreides?

From Quiz "Dune"

Answer: Hawk

In the prequel novel, "Dune: The Battle of Corrin", Vorian Atreides adopts the hawk to be his official insignia on his Army of Humanity.

While speaking to BasharAbulurd Harkonnen, Vorian stated now that the Cymek threat had been eliminated he could focus on destroying the CorrinOmnius. The Hawk would serve as a reminder of his duty to humanity.

3. What part of the head do the stillsuits not cover?

The stillsuit is a "body-enclosing garment." It is a freman design that performs the "functions of heat dissipation and filtering bodily wastes," as well as retaining and reclaiming moisture.

Green is a color seen a lot in this movie. Many of the characters wear this color and one of the moons on Dune is green.

5. What is the name of Stilgar's sietch?

From Quiz "Dune" Part 2

Answer: Tabr

A sietch was typically located within the mountains or rock outcrops that were scattered throughout the deserts of Arrakis, hidden from the harsh sun Canopus. It was located within either a man-made or a naturally carved cave system, or occasionally a combination of both.

6. Where does the Baron tell Piter to send the Sardaukar troops after they invade and take over the city?

From Quiz "Dune"

Answer: Akfrioith

Emperor Shaddam gave the Sardaukar troops to the Baron to help take over the city. The Baron tells Piter, "No trace of the Emperor's involvement must ever be found here." The Emperor must remain neutral in matters of feuding Houses.

7. Who invoked Amtal after Paul pushed past him?

From Quiz "Dune" Part 2

Answer: Jamis

Amtal was a tradition practiced on many primitive worlds, which literally translated as tested to destruction. As this translation indicated, the purpose of amtal was to discover the limits of a person, regardless of the consequences.

8. What does the freman term 'Sayyadina' translate to?

From Quiz "Dune" Part 2

Answer: Friend of God

The term Sayyadina was used by the Freman to describe their lower-ranking priestesses who had not yet passed within to become Reverend Mothers. Often, a woman would be consecrated into the Sayyadina at the same time as a previous Sayyadina attempted the spice agony, so that all would not be lost if the potential Reverend Mother failed and died.

9. What traditional term does Dr. Kynes preferred to be called instead of Imperial Ecologist?

From Quiz "Dune"

Answer: Planetologist

Dr. Kynes, or Liet-Kynes as he is also known, is only half-freman. He is the son of Pardot Kynes and his freman wife Frieth. He is also the father of Chani, who becomes Paul's concubine.

10. Why did Paul not suspect Dr. Yueh as the traitor?

From Quiz "Dune"

Answer: His suk conditioning

Paul tells Leto when they are discussing who the traitor is, "Surely not Yueh. His suk conditioning would drive him mad first." Thufir Hawat is the Atreidas mentat.

11. Whose birthday party did Princess Irulan have to attend at Giedi Prime?

From Quiz "Dune" Part 2

Answer: Feyd

She tells her lady-in-waiting that the Emperor ought to be represented. Her real reason was to get information out of Feyd about what her father was planning for the Atreides.

12. Who understood why Stilgar spat on the ground while he and Leto were trying to make a treaty?

From Quiz "Dune"

Answer: Paul

Paul responded after everyone looked around confused, "We thank you for the gift of your body's water Stilgar, and accept it in the spirit with which it was given." To a Freman, water is the most precious thing, and spitting on the ground symbolizes giving a part of your own water.

13. How did Count Fenring describe Harkonnen architecture?

From Quiz "Dune" Part 2

Answer: curious

Giedi Prime is a heavily industrialized planet with a low photosynthetic potential. House Harkonnen was most famous for its underhanded and sinister political tactics, and for an ancient feud it maintained with another Great House, House Atreides. In addition, House Harkonnen had a reputation for ambition, malevolence, hatred and brutality. It was typically ruled by a Siridar Baron.

14. What House was Jessica born into?

From Quiz "Dune"

Answer: Harkonnen

Jessica was given to Duke Leto of House Atreides to try to make peace between the two Houses. Jessica was also supposed to bear a daughter to marry to a Harkonnen to again make peace between them. House Corrino is the Imperial family and the Bene Gesserit are not a House.

15. Who was the troubadour and Warmaster of House Atreides?

From Quiz "Dune"

Answer: Gurney Halleck

Duncan was the Swordmaster, Thufir was the Master of Assassins and Yueh was the Suk doctor of House Atreides. It is said by Irulan that Gurney's "skill with a knife is exceeded only by (his) mastery of the baliset."

16. What is Glossu Rabban Harkonnen's nickname?

From Quiz "Dune" Part 2

Answer: Beast

He inherited the Harkonnen penchant for sadism and cruelty, but not the cunning. He was best known for his tyrannical and vastly ineffective governance of Arrakis during the Harkonnen fiefdom of Arrakis, as well as during the insurgency of the Freman led by Paul Muad'Dib. He earned the nickname "Beast" when he killed his father, Abulurd Harkonnen.

17. What role did Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam play in the imperial court?

From Quiz "Dune" Part 2

Answer: Truth-sayer

Little known fact: Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam played an important role in the breeding programs of the Sisterhood on Wallach IX, and was the birth mother of Lady Jessica, although the breeding charts list Jessica's birth mother as Tanidia Nerus, Mohiam's own birth name. Mohiam conceived her daughter through a vicious rape by the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, who attacked Mohiam out of pure rage and disgust when she requested he impregnate her. He meant to show the Sisterhood that he could not be used as a pawn in their schemes, but his satisfaction in overpowering was short-lived, for Mohiam, using her Bene Gesserit training, transferred a degenerative disease into the Baron via intercourse, mutating his once-beautiful male form into a bloated, obese monstrosity. Lady Jessica's parentage was kept secret from her.

18. Who has a vertical scar on his left eye?

From Quiz "Dune" Part 2

Answer: Gurney Halleck

Along with Thufir Hawat and Duncan Idaho, Halleck was one of Paul's principal teachers during his early years on Caladan. He was a ruthless, yet noble and romantic warrior of enormous talent. Described as "an ugly lump of a man", he was regarded the most loyal of friends to those he loved, and to those he hated there were few enemies more terrifying.

19. Who plays the role of Paul Atreides in the TV mini-series version of "Dune"?

From Quiz "Dune" Part 2

Answer: Alec Newman

William Hurt portrayed Paul's father Leto, Kyle MacLachlan was Paul in the 1984 version of "Dune" and Jürgen Prochnow brought the role of Leto to the 1984 version. Alec Newman reprised the role of Paul Atreides in the sequel "Children of Dune." I will have one more quiz coming soon for this mini-series, then I will make three more for "Children of Dune." Look for them!
