I figured here was a good point to have a look at the Unnamed Order, and see what the heck their deal is. Didn't quite lay everything out I wanted to, but maybe some of that should be saved for later. I hope what's here makes sense.

Since I learned of the character, I thought the Unnamed One was an interesting concept, but I'm not a fan of how he was handled in those Classics minicomics. So I'm going on a little bit of a different route for this AU.

RIP Suso. His body's technically still alive but it's basically a husk now.

Fun times with the Trollan terrorist cult.

We'll return to Orko after the break. :)

...So these have just been casually hanging around on Emiliano Santalucia's blog since 2007.

ROUND 1

She-Ra: Princess of Power being a spinoff of the He-Man cartoon produced some oddities in the show’s worldbuilding. Here are a few:

1. Castle Grayskull. In the episode “Reunions” (part of “The Secret of the Sword”), Hordak in rocket form follows Adora through a space portal. It’s the one Adam took from Castle Grayskull to Etheria earlier, so Hordak rockets right into the most sensitive, magically guarded power center in the setting and out the door, crashing nearby. He recognizes that he’s back on Eternia, then proceeds to never covet or even mention Grayskull again.

2. The Horde doesn’t know about Trolla. In “A Talent for Trouble”, Hordak captures Orko and has no idea what he is. Shadow Weaver and he try to analyze him with magic and a scientific brain scan and are completely baffled.

3. The Sorceress seems oblivious to Horde Prime. The He-Man episode “Origin of the Sorceress” revealed that 15-year-old Teela-Na became Sorceress of Grayskull to stop a being named Morgoth who had teamed up with the crew of a Horde scout starship. It’s implied in “The Secret of the Sword” that the knowledge she gained was key to Eternia being prepared to repel the later Horde invasion. But she only ever mentions Hordak, not Prime.

4. No Zodac.Though appearing in just three He-Man episodes, Zodac was implied to be a big, cosmic deal. He travels the universe as Cosmic Enforcer, serving “the Overlords of the Eternal Dimension”. He has to protect artifacts like the Golden Discs of Knowledge because “there are too many Skeletors in the universe.” How he, other Cosmic Enforcers like Zanthor, and their masters balance “not interfering in the affairs of mortal men” with the existence of an evil immortal who rules a thousand planets was never addressed.
