Emily Watson as Valya Harkonnen in Dune: Prophecy Episode 3
Dune: Prophecy is an origin story set approximately 10,000 years before the epic sci-fi Dune films. The show was developed by Diane Ademu-John and Alison Schapker for HBO, and explores the origin story of Bene Gesserit and unpacks how the organization transformed into the powerful sisterhood it is known as in the present-day Dune universe. In Dune: Prophecy, we explore Valya Harkonnen's origins and how her new ability would influence Bene Gesserit for centuries to come.
✕ Remove Ads In Season 1, Episode 3, Valya appears in a flashback sequence. We learn about her difficult life on her icy home planet. One time, her brother Griffin almost drowned in a lake, and the only thing that saved Griffin was Valya's powerful voice. She called to him, thus ordering him to swim to the surface despite the fact his muscles had seized to move. Whether Valya understood the full scope of her powers is debatable.
✕ Remove Ads The first time in Dune: Prophecy that we witness young Valya use the Voice is when she uses it against her rival, Reverend Mother Dorotea , who threatens to expose the Sisterhood to the Imperium for their use of thinking machine technology for the breeding program. Valya orders Dorotea to slit her own throat. This is an intimidating depiction of her power, but it is not the first time Valya has used the Voice.
Posts Undeniable Power and the Training of the Voice ✕ Remove Ads During Valya's time with the Sisterhood, she trained with Mother Superior Raquella to hone her powers and gain control over them. Before Dorotea's death, Valya even mentioned she wanted to share the Voice with her, but Dorotea never would have befriended Valya in the first place had she known the truth. Valya's desire for strength both politically and supernaturally is obvious.
