Players can align with either House Atreides or House Harkonnen in Dune: Awakening, but before they can become official members of those factions, they'll have to prove their worth to them first. Each house has a questline that gives players the opportunity to climb up their ranks, potentially unlocking new perks and benefits for them.
The House Atreides questline gives players a glimpse into the inner workings and internal politics of Duke Leto's faction. Here's a guide that briefly goes over all the contracts that House Atreides has to offer to players in Dune: Awakening, as well as some important things players might want to know about how to progress them.
The Unwritten Rules of Dune: Awakening Explained
Before setting out into the unforgiving desert of Arrakis in Dune: Awakening, there are several unwritten rules players should become familiar with.
All Atreides Quests in Dune: Awakening
There are 21 contracts that players can take for House Atreides, and the majority of them will only become available once players decide to formally join them as a member. You can join either House Atreides or Harkonnen by speaking to their recruitment NPCs(Anton Tolliver and Maxim Kazmir respectively) inside Anvil Outpost in Vermillius Gap.

How to Progress Atreides Quests
Faction quests have three main quest givers — for the Atreides, look for the following NPCs:
- Lt. Anton Tolliver - Anvil Outpost
- Adrea Ganan - Helius Gate
- Thufir Hawat - Arrakeen
As you complete contracts, you'll eventually move up the ranks, and when you do, you'll receive orders from a new officer. Tolliver will eventually tell you to report to Ganan, and Ganan will eventually tell you to report to Thufir Hawat. You can find the latter near the Ornithopter landing zones in Arrakeen, near the Atreides Quartermaster.
Atreides Faction Rewards and Benefits
By joining and reaching max rank with House Atreides, you'll get permission to purchase to Atreides-themed cosmetics, including color swatches and building pieces. You can view all the faction-related items you can purchase by visiting the Atreides Quartermaster in Arrakeen. Also, by aligning with the Atreides, you will be affected by any Landsraad Decree that exclusively affects House Atreides.
Alternatively, if you joined House Harkonnen and you want to browse or purchase Atreides cosmetics, you can visit the black marketeer in Arrakeen's Scrap Trader or the Weapons Vendor in Harko Village.
