HORDAK'S EVIL ARMY

Many Eternians remember the dark times when the ruthless warrior mystic Hordak enforced his rule upon the people of Eternia. The Horde was a vast army that enslaved the population and forced the royal family into exile. Yet two princes refused to accept the fate that had left their father a weakened man. Randor and Keldor started a rebellion that fought back against Hordak's tyranny. With the help of their childhood companions Fisto and Man-At-Arms, they gradually regained control of Eternia. Yet success was not without sorrow, for only a year after the rebellion began, Keldor went missing. Randor continued the struggle, and eventually the king's rule was restored.

Despite his ability and talent as a general on the battlefield, Hordak made two errors that led to his downfall. Firstly, he under-estimated the tactical brilliance of the young Randor. Secondly, he placed too much trust in one of the Horde's newest recruits. Skeletor understood nothing of loyalty, and sought only his mentor's power. Skeletor stumbled across an incantation which bound Hordak into a timeless dimension, leaving him control of the Horde. Yet he was not a strong leader, and the few members of Hordak's army who survived the war against Randor dispersed.

Now Hordak roams Eternia once again, desiring vengeance against Skeletor and Randor. The Evil Horde grows in power, representing a sinister threat to the safety of the realm. Hordak is a masterful tactician who carefully considers all aspects of a strategy. While Skeletor may rush into foolhardy schemes, Hordak is patient and calculating, waiting for the moment to strike. The might of the Horde may not be as it once was, but King Randor and his warriors are under no illusions that Hordak has the ability to rise to power once again if Eternia is not protected. Hordak is a masterful warrior and magician who has spent the years of his entombment plotting his revenge.
