There are some details here of unknown origin; obviously anything from The Dune Encyclopedia should come out. TAnthony 18:56, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm Dutch, and I think the Dutch translation (if any) for landsraad would actually be landsraad, and not landraad. I have always thought of it as a Dutch term. It means something along the lines of State Council. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.126.254.66 ( talk • contribs) 20:25, 19 March 2005
It is true as it says in the article. It comes from the danish word landsraad which is also the exact spelling if you dont use the unique "å" which is always spelled as "aa" if not available. Historically all nordic languages were refered to as "the danish tongue" Including swedish, norwegian, icelandic etc. Lookup the name as "landsraad" on google and see if you get dutch or danish results. Danish results would have a ".dk" instead of .com.
It's true that many of the germanic languages are similar but the dutch language is not the inspiration for the council in this case. I may note that my fathers family is dutch and came to denmark 500 years ago, so my view is not so cluttered in favor of it being danish or dutch. I just want the truth to be told.
It seems to me that the inspiration may come from the old viking councils that are also called landsting. The mordern version is landsraad so in that regard a novel about the future would have to use the modern term also but probably refering to ancient history still. It is also very likely that the danish invasions of england and as a result the impact on the english language and history could have played a role in the inspiration for this name.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.103.152.67 ( talk • contribs) 02:02, 26 May 2006
Question: In the House Ordos Wikipedia article Ordos is listed as a member of the Landsraad. Shouldn't House Ordos be listed as one of the members of the Landsraad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.50.231 ( talk • contribs) 02:19, 10 November 2006
There have been numerous Houses from the new official fanfic (Oh, dear POV!) added to the list that either need to be removed or marked for what they are IMO. -- SandChigger ( talk) 14:22, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
Are there any names given of some of them? If so, I suggest they be listed in their own section. Even though they are really no significant, they are still part of the Landsraad. If none are listed, a belive there should at least be a paragraph about them.-- 68.192.188.142 01:51, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
In adding the Origins section I was reminded that the League of Nobles redirects to the Legends of Dune page. I think this is the correct way to do it in a canon sense, as the Landsraad itself is a Frank Herbert creation and the League is a Brian Herbert/Kevin Anderson one. Obviously, the Legends books are canon but with all the "controversy" it's best to make the distinction. I wanted to put my "vote" in now in case anyone has the idea to change it later.

There's a problem with the way these are currently written:
The 2,000 year history of the Landsraad prior to the events leading up to the C.E.T. is established in the appendix on Dune religion:
Mentioning this first in the DE section places it under the gloom of non-canonicity which, in my opinion, is wrong. -- SandChigger 05:49, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
The article states that power of the Empire was shared between the Emperor, Landsraad, Spacing Guild and CHOAM. Infact CHOAM itself was owned by the three other powers (and the Bene Gesserit) so to say that CHOAM was a separate power is wrong, it was only a medium. Narco404 13:22, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
