Culture and Characteristics

Views on Religion

The Moritani have been, ever since the recorded history of the house, staunch and faithful Orange Catholics. They at one time spurned the Bene Gesserit as pagan, heathen, and under the influence and direction of Satan himself. However, in recent times, this intense hatred has lessened, to a degree, especially among the younger, more tolerant members of the House. In desperate, recent times, they have even been known to seek the aide of the mysterious sisterhood.

There are two major deviations in their piety, however. The Moritani have, characteristically, very violent tempers. They show no mercy to those who would incite their anger, and can be completely ruthless when their tempers are aroused.

The other major deviation in the piety of the Moritani is the fact that they recognize human weakness, especially their own. This explains the notorious list of internal murders, infidelities and other carnal sins. In any case, the Moritani reconcile themselves to this by a belief that they are ordained by God to serve the Emperor and that anyone or anything that would hinder their devotion has to be from the devil.
