Literature Quiz: God Emperor of Dune: 10 Questions | Authors

Answer: Radi

'And Radi, poor Radi who had been the first of their team to die .... Radi had said, "We can't afford the extra weight. Throw them away."'
Siona recalls her dead friends during the chase.

Answer: 118

'Let me see, Leto thought. Moneo will be one hundred and eighteen years old in the week after our return from Onn.'

Answer: Syaksa

'"Exactly," Leto agreed. "Recount this carefully to your Superior, the admirable Reverend Mother Syaksa. Tell her for me that I prefer the company of predators above that of the prey."'
Leto tells this to Anteac and Luyseyal when they visit him in False Sietch.

Answer: The Tleilaxu

'"Tell the Reverend Mothers that by tonight the Empire will be rid of its God Emperor. We will strike him today before he reaches Onn. We cannot fail."'
This was told by a Tleilaxu Face Dancer to a Bene Gesserit messenger. Eventually, the attempt fails. The Face Dancers turned themselves into the shape of Duncan Idaho but the real Duncan stripped off his clothes. That way the Fish Speakers knew who was the real Duncan and they slaughtered the Face Dancers.

Answer: Siaynoq

'"I give the Fish Speakers only one ritual," Leto had said. They had been in the God Emperor's audience chamber beneath Onn's central plaza at the time, with Moneo fatigued after a long day of directing the flow of dignitaries who crowded the city for Decennial festivities.
"What has the chanting of that word to do with it, Lord?"
"The ritual is called Siaynoq-the Feast of Leto. It is the adoration of my person in my presence."'

Answer: Jacurutu

'"I happen to know," Siona said. "It is on the old charts as Shuloch, which means 'haunted place.' The Oral History says great crimes were committed here before all of the inhabitants were wiped out."
"Jacurutu," Idaho whispered, recalling the old legends of the water stealers.'
Siona and Duncan talk in Goygoa village. Jacurutu was the place where Leto was captured at "Children of Dune".

Answer: No-room

'"Just a few tiny cells from my body," Malky said. "Then the carefully nurtured growth and education-everything an exact opposite to your old friend, Malky. We did it all in the no-room where you cannot see!"'
A no-room is a place where the oracle can't see through it.

Answer: False

'Leto's great body trembled through its entire length at this thought. He well knew the antidote which had always worked before: lose himself for a time in his own past. Not even the Bene Gesserit Sisters could take such safaris, striking inward along the axis of memories-back, back to the very limits of cellular awareness, or stopping by a wayside to revel in a sophisticated sensory delight. Once, after the death of a particularly superb Duncan, he had toured great musical performances preserved in his memories. Mozart had tired him quickly. Pretentious! But Bach . . . ahhh, Bach. Leto remembered the joy of it.'

Answer: Tabur Village

'"Where, Lord?"
A bit more life in his voice.
"At Tabur Village in the Sareer."'
Moneo and Leto talk about the wedding's arrangments. Leto later changes the wedding's place to Tuono Village.

Answer: False

'"This is the horror which my father could not face and which he tried to prevent: the infinite division and subdivision of a blind identity."
She lowered her hands and whispered: "You will be conscious?"
"In a way . . . but mute. A little pearl of my awareness will go with every sandworm and every sandtrout-knowing yet unable to move a single cell, aware in an endless dream."'
It is said that the God Emperor will return when Arrakis will become desert again.
