ENCYCLOPEDIA / LOCATIONS

Eternia

The planet on which the saga of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe unfolds. A world of fantasy and futurism, split between a Light and Dark Hemisphere, ruled by King Randor from the Royal Palace. Home to barbarians, sorcerers, mutants, and machines living side by side.

Special Notes

Eternia is often described as the magic counterpart to Etheria's science-fiction tone in the She-Ra continuity. The two planets are sometimes shown linked through dimensional portals.

Eternia is the setting of the MOTU saga. It is a planet that visibly blends genres: medieval fantasy castles next to high-technology vehicles, sorcerers alongside cyborgs, palace politics alongside cosmic threats from beyond the stars. The Light Hemisphere is the seat of the Royal Palace and most of the Heroic Warriors; the Dark Hemisphere contains Snake Mountain and the haunts of the Evil Warriors.

The world is ruled by King Randor and Queen Marlena from the Royal Palace. Castle Grayskull, though situated within Eternia geographically, is its own sovereign entity guarded by the Sorceress. The 2002 MYP series introduced King Hsss and the Snake Men as a third threat to Eternia, expanding the world’s geopolitics significantly.
