The Dune universe is set in the year 10191 AG, this is about 20,000 years in our future. The Spacing Guild was formed after 10,000 years of history following the 20th century. The Guild was formed after a long age of darkness following the Butlerian Jihad, in this age no one could travel safely through space due to the inability to use thinking machines. 1, in every 10 vessels were lost in this age due to the inability to properly navigate during this era. When the guild was formed, this problem was solved and a new epoch was created “AG,” After Guild. Following the ascension of Paul Atreides more than 5,000 years passed throughout the original Dune Saga. By the year 13500 AG The Worm God Emperor Leto II ruled from Arrakis, which was by then known simply as Rakis.

The God Emperor more so than anyone who had lived before him understood that recorded history was riddled with inaccuracies, half-truths, and outright lies, the history of humanity was shaped by those who recorded it. The Stolen Journals would be Leto’s own record of his long life, his family history, and his musings on the universe, humanity, and reality.

In the centuries following the death of the worm god emperor, several volumes of his journals were uncovered. And as they were uncovered they shed new light on historical events. It was in fact the Spacing Guild who originally translated the stolen journals through a method which came to be known as the Guild Key. Most of the Journals had been originally printed upon Ridulian crystal sheets by use of a device called a dictatel which allowed the god emperor to transmit his thoughts directly. The dictatel was a device of Ixian manufacture, Ixian tech was frowned upon in the imperium because the Ixians toed the line of what was permitted by the Butlerian Jihad. Leto had recorded his thoughts through the use of the dictatel for many centuries, he even recorded his dying thoughts.
