High Council



The High Council is the inner circle of the Landsraad during the time of the Faufreluches. It presided over disputes between Houses.

The arbitrary decision of the Judge of the Change could only be disputed before the High Council, and only when the Emperor was present. A grievance was brought before the High Council in a Bill of Particulars.

Shortly after the assassination of Duke Leto and the Harkonnen/Corrino invasion of Arrakis, Paul Atreides had expressed a desire to put forward a Bill of Particulars to the Landsraad High Council to express his grievance and the laws that had been broken by this invasion. He believed that his grievance would be supported because the Great Houses would not support the Sardaukar eliminating them one-by-one, which was one of the principal reasons why the Landsraad existed to begin with.
