DEFENDERS OF ETERNIA

The planet of Eternia has undergone many eras of turmoil and tranquillity, and the current peacefulness has been achieved by King Randor and his allies. Although evil permanently threatens the realm, the king's warriors are dedicated in their fight to protect the legendary Castle Grayskull and the population of Eternia. They are led by He-Man, who is the greatest warrior in the long and troubled history of the planet.

King Randor is no stranger to battle and hardship, for he was heir to the throne when the royal family was exiled by Hordak, who had conquered much of Eternia. Together with his brother Keldor, Randor began a resistance movement which gradually fought back against the Horde. Yet during the early days of the struggle, Keldor vanished and has never been seen since. To this day, Randor feels responsible for Keldor's disappearance, and his heart is ever burdened by the loss.

Randor battled against the Horde for years, and finally defeated the evil warriors. Yet he did not succeed in slaying Hordak, for the leader of the Horde was betrayed by Skeletor, and banished far from Eternia. Skeletor became the main threat following the collapse of the Horde, although he never emulated his master's success. Randor became king and quickly established his rule, transforming the Eternia ravaged by Hordak into a prosperous and thriving world. King Randor is the mightiest ruler Eternia has ever known, but now Hordak, Skeletor and King Hiss represent a challenge reminiscent of Randor's struggle against the Horde long ago.
