A Whisper of Caladan Seas was a Dune short story by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, published in 2001 in the short story collection Dogged Persistence, and later re-released September 2005 in the collection The Road to Dune. It takes place during the Harkonnen attack on Arrakis during the course of the original Dune by Frank Herbert and depicts a group of Atreides soldiers trapped in a cave in the Shield Wall outside Arrakeen. One of the soldiers, a master storyteller, recounts tales of Caladan, the sea-covered ancestral homeworld of House Atreides. A group of Fremen warriors find the soldiers shortly after, and discover that the soldiers have all magically drowned — a fate that has never happened previously on the desert planet of Arrakis. So, why do we bring this up now?
