Dune vs. Drizzt of D&D

The kid noticed, while reading Homeland and Exile, just how similar some things are in the Drizzt books compared to the Dune movies (and books). 

House is House. Their royal houses and house vs. house infighting. Lots of backstabbing and killing their own relatives. 

Zaknafein best sword trainer, like Gurney Halleck/Duncan. Like best of the best training for Paul Muad’dib Atreides and for Drizzt Do'Urden. And then Paul and Drizzt become the best of the best. 

Evil relatives one side of family, for main good guy. 

Mother is Matron. The women use mental/telepathic communications. Some similarities with the Drow Clerics and Matrons compared to the Bene Gesserit.

Lots of royal snobbery, social class rank type annoyances.
