An excerpt from "House Atreides" that says
"Under the eternally sunny skies of Kaitain, the massive Landsraad Hall of Oratory stood high and imposing, the tallest peak in a mountain range of legislative edifices and government offices surrounding an ellipsoidal commons. The Hall had been erected by contributions from all the Houses, each noble family trying to outdo the others in grandeur. Representatives from CHOAM had helped to procure resources from across the Imperium, and only by special order of a former Emperor- Hassik Corrino III- had the exorbitant Landsraad construction plans been curtailed, so as not to overshadow the Imperial Palace itself.
Following the nuclear holocaust on Salusa Secundus and the relocation of the Imperium's seat of government, everyone had been anxious to establish an optimistic new order.
Hassik III had wanted to show that even after the near obliteration of House Corrino, the Imperium and its business would continue at a more exalted level than ever before."
One of my favorite things about the Brian Herbert Dune books is that they sometimes drop some random piece of House Corrino lore just because they can #Dune #HouseCorrino #TeamCorrino #HassikCorrino
