Setting
The universe at the time of Legends of Dune consists of essentially three groups of populated planets: League Worlds, Synchronized Worlds and Unallied Planets.
League worlds
The League of Nobles is the system of government employed by the remaining free humans. The predecessor of the Landsraad and the Imperium, the League is feudal at its core but slightly more democratic than the Landsraad, as the League members vote for which Viceroy they prefer to govern them. The Landsraad is a fictional organization in Frank Herbert 's ''Dune'' universe. The Padishah Emperor was the title of the hereditary rulers of the known universe in Frank Herbert 's fictional ''Dune'' universe. Feudalism, a term first used in the early modern period (17th century in its most classic sense refers to a Medieval Europe Political system composed The planets controlled and protected by the League are:

Themes
One theme of the series is the fragile nature of history; the events from the first two books are later altered by the passage of time, both intentionally and unintentionally. One of the epigraphs in the book refers to Mao Zedong as a 'Philosopher of Old Earth'. In Literature, an epigraph is a phrase Quotation, or Poem that is set at the beginning of a document or component Mao Zedong ( 26 December 1893 – 9 September 1976) was a Chinese Military and political leader who led Philosophy is the study of general problems concerning matters such as existence knowledge truth beauty justice validity mind and language Xavier Harkonnen begins as a legitimately idolized hero, and eventually becomes unjustifiably demonized as a villain. Xavier Harkonnen is a character in the fictional Dune universe. One of the protagonists, Vorian Atreides, remarks at one point, "Don't quote history books to me. Vorian Atreides is a Fictional character in the ''Dune'' universe created by Frank Herbert. You have no right: you weren't there. I was. "
In addition, a state-sanctioned religion builds up around the 'Three Martyrs': Serena Butler, Iblis Ginjo, and Manion Butler. Serena Butler is a character in Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson 's Legends of Dune series a trilogy of novels set during the Butlerian Iblis Ginjo is a fictional character from the ''Dune'' universe created by Frank Herbert. Serena Butler is a character in Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson 's Legends of Dune series a trilogy of novels set during the Butlerian They form a mother-father-child trinity, which has become accepted as actual religious truth by the time of the events depicted in Dune. One of the more philosophical characters in the series points out that, throughout human history, leaders have harnessed the collective madness of holy war for their own purposes. The power of religion, and its manipulation, is itself a major theme in Frank Herbert's original Dune series.
One of the few characters to survive the entire series is Vorian Atreides. Shocked by the things he has seen and done over the course of the war, he decides that he deserves an indefinite holiday. Using the ship he began the series in, the Dream Voyager, he sets off through the stars. That is one final theme of the series: those who try to leave a mark on history succeed as often as they fail.
