The Fremens are the original inhabitants of Arrakis, also called Dune.
They live in sietches, cave-like things, in the desserts. In the RPG you must have their support in order to build up yore army. You must go from sietch to sietch and try to convince them to rally for you. In Dune 2 - The building of an Dynasty, you will also come in contact with the Fremens. As in the books the Fremens support Atreides, and when you play with Atreides you will have reinforcements in form of fremen foot soldiers. If you play with any of the other houses (Ordos, Harkonnen) you will also come in contact with them, but now you will be forced to fight them. The Fremen in the books are not the same (sort of) as in the games. I guess it would be to hard to describe their rites, religion, dreams and laws. The fremen culture is a strange thing. Everything is based on water. Water rules their lives. It is so important that they even take the moisture from their dead: "The flesh belong to the dead, the moisture to the tribe." |
