- The Great Houses of Dune: Every House ExplainedEvery noble House of the Dune Imperium, from the Imperial House Corrino to the Great Houses of the Landsraad and the smaller families around them. Each entry gives the House's homeworld, its rulers, what it was known for and how it ended, and says which Houses come only from the later expanded novels or the games.
- House Ecaz: the Archducal House of the Sculptor's ParadiseEcaz is Frank Herbert's planet of fogwood and drugs, and House Ecaz is the family that rules it in the Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson books. Under Archduke Armand Ecaz the House fought two Wars of Assassins with House Moritani, lost its heirs and left Armand as the last of his line.
- House Moritani: the Feuding House of Grumman in DuneHouse Moritani ruled Grumman and is known in Frank Herbert's Dune for one thing, its War of Assassins against House Ginaz. The Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson books add Viscount Hundro Moritani, whose feud with House Ecaz ended with the House wiped out.
- House Ordos: the Dune Game House That Never Appeared in the BooksHouse Ordos is the third Great House of the Westwood Dune games, a cartel of rich merchant families from an ice world who fight with sabotage and banned technology. It isn't in Frank Herbert's novels or the Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson books, and this page sets out where it really comes from.
- House Vernius: the Ruling House of Ix in DuneHouse Vernius ruled the machine world of Ix until an Emperor's grudge and a Tleilaxu takeover drove it into exile. It comes from the Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson prequels, not Frank Herbert's novels, and its story runs through Earl Dominic, Lady Shando and their children Rhombur and Kailea.
- GinazGinaz was an ocean world of scattered archipelagos and the ancestral home of House Ginaz. Its fierce warrior culture, ruled by the Council of Veterans, produced the legendary Swordmasters of the Imperium.
- House AtreidesHouse Atreides was a respected House Major of the Galactic Padishah Empire, ruled by a Duke and seated for twenty-six generations on the ocean world of Caladan. Through Paul Muad'Dib and his son Leto II, the Atreides line rose to rule the Known Universe before passing into a bloodline scattered across the millennia.

- House Harkonnen: the Baron's Giedi PrimeSeated on industrial Giedi Prime and ruled by a Siridar-Baron, the Harkonnens had hated House Atreides since Corrin. Arrakeen finished them off.
- House RicheseHouse Richese ruled the machine world of Richese, a Great House classed with Ix as supreme in machine culture. Its ruinous trade war with House Vernius of Ix broke its fortunes and left it making copies of Ixian invention.
- Lupino OrdLupino Ord was the arrogant ambassador of House Moritani, who shared his House's intense hatred of House Ecaz. His drunken provocations at a banquet on Arrakis ended in the murder of an Ecazi representative, an act he escaped through his diplomatic immunity.
