You can play with Harkonen, Atreides or the Ordos each of the houses have their own special abilities. The games are loosely based on the book Dune. One of my favourite games from my youth.
Collectively, all Fremen belonged to the Ichwan Bedwine, or broad brotherhood.Water played a vital role in the Fremen culture. Each sietch resides within one of the numerous rocky formations that dot the sands of Arrakis. These two aspects saw them emerge as efficient and hardy warriors, who used their skills and the environment of Arrakis to fend off off-world opponents who often possessed far superior technology and formal training.The Fremen typically lived in patriarchal collectives, known as sietches, which were led by a Naib.
Thus when a Fremen died or was killed in combat, rather than being buried or cremated, he or she was rendered down into water. With a Fremen stillsuit in proper working order, the wearer lost only about a thimbleful of water per day.The Fremen rule was that one's water belongs to the tribe. Gloves were also available, too, but many Fremen opted instead to rub the juice of the creosote bush on their hands to inhibit perspiration. Additionally, specialized headgear prevented most of the normal loss through the scalp and forehead via perspiration, while masks and noseplugs reclaimed moisture from the wearers' breathing. To conserve against the unnecessary loss of water in the desert, Fremen wore complex full-body filtration systems called stillsuits, which reclaimed the body's moisture.
This, combined with the sparse natural resources on Arrakis led to the Spice Melange becoming an integral part of their diet and culture.As with many traditionalist and mystic religions, the faith of the Fremen relied heavily on prophecies. Over the centuries they had adapted their blend of Zensunni faith to their desert environment, and adopted the Sandworm of Arrakis (or Shai-Hulud as they called it) as a physical manifestation of God. In addition, Fremen eyes were colored entirely blue (" Eyes of Ibad"), due to their excessive ingestion of the Spice Melange.Religiously, the Fremen were deeply spiritual, to the point of being superstitious. These effects were less pronounced on those Fremen who live in cities such as Arrakeen. What remained was measured and allocated to him, but the water itself was turned over to the watermasters.Due to living on Arrakis, the typical Fremen appeared as a sinewy human with leathery tanned skin.
However, when the Harkonnens and Corrinos invaded Arrakis, House Atreides went renegade and sought refuge with the Fremen.After their adoption of the Duke's son Paul Atreides and his mother, the Fremen saw a rapid and dramatic change in their fortunes. Moreover, the Duke sent his Warmaster Duncan Idaho as an ambassador. Through Duncan's abilities as a warrior the Atreides managed to gain the trust of the Fremen, and the Duke quickly learned that the Fremen were a powerful force with which to align his House. After a short while however, the Fremen came to develop a relationship with the Duke through his even-handedness and generosity. However, because of years of harsh Harkonnen rule and dealings with Imperial agents, the Fremen were at first distrustful of the Atreides. Upon arrival on Arrakis, House Atreides, lead by Duke Leto Atreides I sought to befriend the Fremen.
By the time of the God Emperor's death, the Fremen were relegated to being no more than 'museum' pieces, their ancient and purposeful traditions diluted into honorary forms without meaning. SchiemannFrom the time of the God-Emperor onwards the cultural impact of the Fremen ebbed, thanks in no small part to the terraforming of Arrakis. In twelve Standard Years the Fremen overran the Imperium.Museum Fremen - Illustration by Klaus D. Within a few years they had gone from being perpetually harassed by elements within the Corrino Empire (most notably House Harkonnen) to being the foot soldiers of the Atreides Empire and Paul Atreides powerful jihad. The Fremen had developed such formidable fighting abilities through years of surviving both the harsh environment and attrition wars against the Harkonnens that they were deemed superior even to the Corrino Sardaukar forces.
