No one knows when the alien warlord known as Nordor first tried to conquer Known Space, but it was The Celestials themselves that struck down his growing empire and banished him to the Negative Zone. The power vacuum would allow much of the territory to be conquered and colonized by some of the nation-states of the planet Triterra. Untold centuries before the rise of The Enshrouded One, the decline of Triterra left the planets of Eternia and Etheria to gain their independence.
Millennia after his exile, Nordor was able to access the material plane from the Negative Zone, using the power of a magical mishap on the planet Etheria. Under the guise of Horde Prime, he conquered Etheria and launched a war on its sister world. The swift action of the King of Greyskull defeated the armies and banished its Horde back to the Negative Zone. While Eternia is still free today centuries after the conflict, Etheria remains under the rule of the Horde, led by Hordak, a clone of Horde Prime.
Both Eternia and Etheria lie in the same orbit around their sun, The Starseed, but lie at opposite ends of that orbit.
Etheria was beautiful with a glorious magical history, but today it has become a poor, blighted world, with most of its inhabitants living under the boot of Hordak. The remains of the storied pastoral lands have slowly been consumed by the industrial sprawl of the Horde, a vast region that is known as The Fright Zone amongst the populace. Despite the overwhelming presence of the Horde, a nascent rebellion has formed, led by the mysterious She-Ra. Few know that She-Ra was once Princess Adora of Eternia, who had been brainwashed to be a brutal Force Commander for the Horde.
The sister world to Etheria, is Eternia . At one time a highly technological world, the war with Etheria caused the world civilization to crumble. The world is divided between the Kingdom of Eternia and its vassal states, and the ever-shifting alliances and holdings of the Warlords of Snake Mountain. Empowered by the mythical Castle Greyskull and its guardian The Sorceress, the Eternian champion He-Man protects the throne and its people from the might of Snake Mountain and its leader Skeletor. He-Man is secretly Prince Adam, crown prince of the Kingdom of Eternia.
