Historical Record
House Atreides announces the birth of an heir on Caladan in 10175. Courtiers record ceremonies, oaths renewed by bannerets, and adjustments to education schedules that fold statecraft, swordsmanship, and ecological literacy into a childhood already under diplomatic gaze. Envoys from allied and rival houses alike send gifts that are as much signals as they are honors. Water‑rich Caladan provides a gentler cradle than most great houses can boast, and observers note the family’s long habit of binding fealty with fairness rather than fear.
Historically, the birth matters because it stabilizes succession and focuses the Imperium’s attention on a house whose influence outstrips its holdings. Tutors emphasize systems thinking: weather, supply, and the ethics of rulership. Guild factors quietly update risk tables, projecting how a future duke’s policies might shift contracts with the Spacing Guild and CHOAM. Nothing here foretells destiny in private terms; the public record simply marks the day the ledger gains a name that future decrees will carry.
