Golem Species in Dune | World Anvil

Golem

While I am very pleased with many of my Summer Camp articles this one should be considered a Work in Progress. It will most likely be edited after the submit date and should not be considered for judging or prizes. Thank you.

WIP UC Work in Progress Under Construction

  The Golem as they are called in slang and ill mannered phrases are the last attempt by Agamemnon for children to carry on his line. He failed at each step of the way not siring children before becoming a cymek yet saving genetic samples. He failed at raising multiple human sons that turned to disappointment like Vorian Atreides which eventually killed Agamemnon. Even the two thinking machines that he named his son and daughter.
  The Golem is the last project of its kind which Juno assisted with during their time on the ice planet Hessra. This allowed them to imprint genetic uniqueness and memory onto gel circuitry. It is believed the minds that finally gave their lives to be imprinted on these two. Agamemnon would name his synthetic son Orris and his synthetic daughter crystal.
 

Children of Agamemnon

  Orris and Crystal have the strength and speed of thinking machines with the guile of humans. Their weakness or downfall is they were not brought on line for any length of time to work out the "bugs". They suffer from their memories not being completely integrated correctly. This gives them the equivalent of rage when their systems do not function and they have the mental maturity of young adults including impatience.
 

Cult of the Titans

 

Before the Orange Catholic Bible

  The Cult of the Titans would later dedicate their lives to locating the lost children of Agamemnon in hope of reviving a new Time of the Titans under their rule. The Cult of the Titans reject the works of the Orange Catholic Bible and look farther back to archaic texts for directions of their reverence of the crafted humanoids.   "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind"  
  14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
  15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
  16 Your eyes saw my substance[Goylem], being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
 
— psalm 139 (KJV)
