{{quote|The basic outline of this pop theory of history: that a lack of wealth and sophistication leads to moral purity, which in turn leads to military prowess, which consequently produces a cycle of history wherein rich and decadent societies are forever being overthrown by poor, but hardy ‘Fremen’ who then become rich and decadent in their turn.|Bret Devereaux, PhD|[https://acoup.blog/2020/01/17/collections-the-fremen-mirage-part-i-war-at-the-dawn-of-civilization/ "The Fremen Mirage"]}}
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
Highly related to [[Barbarian Tribe]] and [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]. Some overlap with [[Noble Savage]], if the author wants to play up the moral superiority of the Fremen as a source of their strength. Many Fremen were [[Born in the Saddle]], and ride with the [[Hordes From the East]].
Examples in fiction appear to be rare. [[George R. R. Martin]] claims that the Dothraki in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' are based on [[Hordes From the East|steppe warriors]] and [[Native Americans]], but are in fact based on [[Native American Tropes|tropes about these tribes]] and not the real people
▲Names after ''[[Dune]]'', of course, with its Fremen who take on decadent space empires.

And, of course, the society is a bunch of strong, violent Fremen who manage to be even more rapey than your average culture in Westeros or Essos.
