A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct. This every sister
of the Bene Gesserit knows. To begin your study of the life of Muad'Dib, then, take care that you first
place him in his time: born in the 57th year of the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam IV. And take the most
special care that you locate Muad'Dib in his place: the planet Arrakis. Do not be deceived by the fact
that he was born on Caladan and lived his first fifteen years there. Arrakis, the planet known as Dune,
is forever his place.
