We know the tale of his father Paul Atreides, called Muad'Dib by the people of Arrakis. We know his own fate after almost three thousand years of ruling the Empire. But here at last will be the undertaking of the tale of his early days as the future God-Emperor Leto II starts down the Golden Path. Like Leto, I take this challenge upon myself. Unlike him, I can not yet see where this path will lead. With the books as my guide, I allow Leto to guide me along his path and to tell his story.
