Harmonthep
From Dune
This article or section refers to elements from both Original Dune and Expanded Dune.
Harmonthep was a planet orbiting the star Delta Pavonis. The planet Caladan was also in the same star system.
Harmonthep was a swampy world with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere. It was also rich in biological life. Consequently, it was also capable of acommodating human life, and for a while was the home of a population of Wandering Zensunni. Inglsey noted Harmonthep as the sixth stop in the Wanderers' migration.
At some point prior to the Butlerian Jihad the planet was one of the Unallied Planets, housing Zensunni tribes; at one time, such a tribe was attacked by Tlulaxa slavers.
One of the original Fremen and successor to Selim Wormrider was born on Harmonthep. In the Legends of Dune prequels, a Zensunni named Ishmael was taken by the slaver Tuk Keedair and sold at Poritrin. After several years, Ishmael was eventually assigned to the compound of Norma Cenva while she was working on the Fold space engines for VenKee Enterprises. Eventually Ishmael stole the prototype vessel from Poritrin while taking Keedair hostage. The ship crashlanded on Arrakis and Ishamel and his people joined the Wormriders of Selim. Ishmael married Selim's widow and was the first to call these people the Free Men of Dune(Arrakis)
The planet was eventually totally destroyed.
