Norma Cenva
Norma Cenva is a fictional character from the ''Dune'' universe created by Frank Herbert. Mentioned briefly in Herbert's ''God Emperor of Dune'' (1981), she plays a large role in the ''Legends of Dune'' prequel trilogy (2002–2004) written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. The character reappears as the Oracle of Time in the Brian Herbert/Anderson novels ''Hunters of Dune'' (2006) and ''Sandworms of Dune'' (2007), which conclude the original series.
Her name is an anagram of "Norma Vance", wife of author Jack Vance, with whom Frank Herbert was good friends.
==''God Emperor of Dune''==
Norma Cenva is first mentioned in ''God Emperor of Dune'' by Frank Herbert, when the God Emperor Leto II notes:
Who has ever heard of Norma Cenva? ... You think a man designed the first Guild ship? Your history books told you it was Aurelius Venport? They lied. It was his mistress, Norma. She gave him the design, along with five children. He thought his ego would take no less. In the end, the knowledge that he had not really fulfilled his own image, that was what destroyed him.
This paragraph is the only mention of Norma Cenva in Frank Herbert's works, although Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson develop and expand her character considerably in their novels.
