A massive, loyal-to-the-messiah dessert warrior culture (of which said messiah’s mother became an adopted member), a secretive order of women mystics pulling the strings on human civilization, weapons inspired by the Javanese kris (which is something Origins did mention), a heavy focus on political intrigue and machinations, a strong focus on a near-instantaneous method of traveling, the messiah sojourns in the dessert almost immediately after becoming a ruler and recruits the dessert people. Even if it somehow wasn’t a contributing inspiration to WoT, Dune is so influential and iconic, you’d think Livingston would have mentioned it even if only to say “nah, it’s just coincidence.”

I think a mix of primarily Blue and Grey with some Greens, Whites, and Browns.

Is my post not in that community?

For fans of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series.

Idk. That’s more a case of kids making high fructose corn syrup doing crazy stuff.

Yes. The lizard people engineered us that way.

I’m not sure a 1:1 would make sense for Foundation. At least not for people who haven’t read it anyways. Sure would be interesting though.

An adaptation of the Wheel of Time book series that doesn’t actively invert the characters and themes in service to a boring, schizophrenic mess.

I eat a lot of french fries. So maybe about 50lbs annually.

When I was a kid, we had a drink called “suicide punch”. You mix equal parts of every drink in the fountain.

It is definitely not that.

Cheerwine.

(Despite the name, it’s non-alcoholic.)

A bit lacking in genocide, conquests, and annexation to be manifest destiny, eh?
