Eternia is a central planet in the Masters of the Universe franchise. Its capital city is Eternos where Prince Adam and the Royal Family reside, and the planet is notably the location of Castle Grayskull.
History[]
The 2002 Masters of the Universe relaunch depicted Castle Grayskull as containing the Orb of Power, in which dwelled the knowledge and power of the Council of Elders. It was also the place where King Grayskull's Sword of Power was stored until the day it was claimed by Prince Adam. This sword contained the very essence of King Grayskull's noble attributes and strengths, and allows its wielder to call upon those same gifts.
Eternia is a tidally locked planet, divided into a Light Hemisphere, where it is always day, and a Dark Hemisphere, where it is always night.
