The Dune universe has always been layered with intricate details, where politics, religion, ecology, and power intertwine into an epic tapestry. In Dune: Prophecy, the latest series set in this vast cosmos, new mysteries emerge, challenging our perceptions of Muad’Dib’s legacy and the events that shaped the galaxy. From conspiracies involving the Bene Gesserit to the growing threat of artificial intelligence, each episode leaves us with questions that remain unanswered.

Among the most fascinating intrigues is the role of Vorian Atreides, a near-mythical name whose influence echoes from the Butlerian Jihad to modern conflicts. Who was Vorian really? And how does his story impact current events? Since there will be a second season, many of the questions should still be open after the first part of the story, which airs today, December 22, 2024.

What are the most intriguing questions that we want answers to? By analyzing past, present, and future, we can theorize how they connect in the fascinating universe of Dune.

The past and intentions of Desmond Hart

Desmond Hart (Travis Fimmel) emerges as an enigmatic figure. Although his actions suggest a leading role in political and religious intrigues, his true origin, motivations, and connections to Muad’Dib’s prophecy remain unclear.

He is the rejected son of Tula (Olivia Williams) and Orry (Milo Callaghan), now the lover of Empress Natalya (Jodhi May), and hates Valya (Emily Watson). What are his true plans? How does he manage to burn people with their thoughts? Is he associated with a secret faction, or is he a free agent who manipulates everyone for his own ends?

Some of the answers should come in the final episode, but not all.

The prophecy and its true interpretation

It is uncertain whether the concept of Muad’Dib’s prophecy, which shapes the culture and politics of the Dune universe, has already been created and how Valya will change it. For now, the most urgent prophecy is that of Tiran Arafel, the Bene Gesserit antagonist who in every word seems to be Desmond. Is that really true?

The fate of the Bene Gesserit

The series presents an internal conflict within the Bene Gesserit. To what extent are the leaders united in the goal of maintaining order or seeking a new form of power?

What is Valya and Tula’s role in this division and how will it impact the survival of the Sisterhood?

The Rise of Artificial Intelligence

There are hints that machines, even banished, are reappearing in the shadows. Who is behind this movement?

Is there a new Butlerian Jihad forming?

The connection of the deserts of Arrakis to the expansion of the universe

The series emphasizes new locations and threats outside of Arrakis. But how will Arrakis remain the center of power if its exclusive right to spice production is compromised?

Is there an external threat (such as a new race or galactic power) that has not yet been fully revealed?

The role of House Corrino and the other Great Houses

The Corrino dynasty seems to be insecure about its power. What is the position of the other Great Houses in the face of the instability that permeates the Empire?

The true heritage of Vorian Atreides

In the second season, it will be virtually impossible not to know or encounter Vorian Atreides.
With the references to his legacy in the series, the question arises: to what extent was the lineage of Paul Atreides and Leto II influenced by Vorian’s decisions and actions during the Butlerian Jihad?

Is there any secret about his heritage or the role of the Atreides in galactic events that have not yet been revealed?

Since Vorian was an important leader in the war against the thinking machines, could there have been something unresolved in his alliance with humanity?

What is Vorian’s true legacy: is he a hero or someone whose initial actions led to the destruction of future choices?

Valya and Tula’s confrontation
Valya and Tula have a volatile relationship. They are close, but over the years, Valya has always demanded “proof” from Tula to make sure that her sister is in favor of the Harkonnens and the Brotherhood “before” anything else. Why the doubt? How much will Desmond’s existence interfere in this relationship?
