I read the whole cycle and wrote my Grade 13 Major Essay on Dune. I have
heard of the Honered Matres, who were the enemy of the Bene Gesserit. As for
the Tleilaxu, the Tleilaxu were giving the Bene Gesserit spice from the
Axtotl tanks. The honered matres were hard to kill, their legs acted without
their brains, so the could kick real fast. They were flawed, because they
used sex to control their population. Herbert spent all of Chapter House
Dune explaining why this was a bad way to govern. They were also all female.
Tleilaxu can be destroyed, they just clone themselves. Bene Gesserit can
spot a Face Dancer a mile away, so they're no problem.

Duncan escaped by himself, he took Shianna with him.

I hvae read the cycle, have you?
