Arrakeen

Location from Dune by Frank Herbert

The capital city of Arrakis — a Shield Wall-protected settlement that changed hands from Harkonnen to Atreides to Muad'Dib, each transition written in blood.

Also known as: the capital, Arrakeen city

What They Know

• The Shield Wall protects the city basin from the worst coriolis storms
• The Ducal Palace was Harkonnen-built but occupied by the Atreides and later by Muad'Dib
• Water sellers and stillsuit merchants dominate the commercial quarter
• The city's population swells and contracts with spice harvesting seasons
• Fremen move freely through Arrakeen but are treated as second-class citizens by offworlders
• The landing fields handle all offworld traffic — spice exports, military transports, Guild lighters
