Kayensar

Kayensar is a fictional term used within the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. It designates a rank of imperial official within the Landsraad, primarily serving as an advisor to the Padishah Emperor. The Kayensar are typically individuals chosen for their political acumen, strategic thinking, and loyalty to the Golden Lion Throne. While not holding formal military command, their counsel carries significant weight in matters of state, particularly those concerning foreign policy, resource allocation, and internal security. The position implies a degree of trust and influence, making Kayensar individuals powerful figures within the complex power structure of the Imperium. The exact hierarchy and formal responsibilities of a Kayensar are not consistently detailed across the Dune novels, though their importance as advisors is a recurring theme.
