Today, we dive into the first of five videos in which we show off some of the abilities from the various Schools of the Imperium in action.
In this first video, we delve into the secretive and feared Bene Gesserit, the ancient sisterhood of spies, advisors, and truthsayers that manipulates the Imperium from the shadows. Theirs is the hand that seeks to steer the very evolution of humanity. Although an insular and all-female order, there are some who have no qualms about teaching an outsider their ways.
Witness the Voice and weirding ways of the Bene Gesserit now:

This is but one of the Schools you will be able to learn from in Dune: Awakening, and with the ability to mix and match abilities from all of them, the possibilities would require a strong dose of spice to foresee.
A few of the early Bene Gesserit abilities:
- Bindu Sprint: Override your nervous system and musculature with an immense surge of activity, allowing you to run forward at an incredible speed.
- Compel: Use the Voice to force a target to your position from afar. Voice abilities require a short period for you to “register” your opponent before they can be used.
- Recovery (passive): You are able to heal your body more effectively after suffering catastrophic injury – regenerating your health to a higher threshold than normal.
If you do not choose a Bene Gesserit as your mentor in character creation, you must find them in the world and convince them to teach you. Only one mentor in each School, however, has the knowledge to teach you the most advanced skills.
The first Bene Gesserit mentor is Sister Mesa, located somewhere in the Hagga Basin. Speak to her and she will request your aid in seeking out ancient texts from the Missionara Protectiva – the part of the Sisterhood tasked with intentionally seeding prophecies among world populations to control them – on Arrakis. Fremen prophecies.
Begin your journey to mastering the uncanny arts of the Bene Gesserit on June 10.
