Etheria: Ang Ikalimang Kaharian ng Encantadia (English: Etheria: The Fifth Kingdom of Encantadia) is a Filipino fantasy television series by GMA Network. It is the second installment of the entire Encantadia series. Etheria ran for 50 episodes from December 12, 2005 to February 17, 2006, and then gave way to the telefantasya franchise's next incarnation Encantadia: Pag-ibig Hanggang Wakas which premiered on February 20, 2006.
Being a prequel, the story takes place before the events in the world of Encantadia. Although it is technically a sequel to the series, the story revolves around the four elemental Sang'gres (Pirena (Sunshine Dizon), Amihan (Iza Calzado), Alena (Karylle) and Danaya (Diana Zubiri)) and Ybrahim (Dingdong Dantes) going back to the past when the kingdom of Etheria was in its full glory.
Back when Encantadia was a young world, there was an empire called Etheria. The strong and powerful kingdom was ruled by Reyna Avria (Francine Prieto), who wanted to control the neighboring kingdoms of Lireo, Sapiro, Adamya and Hathoria.
However, the four kingdoms banded together and attempted to defeat the forces of Etheria in the Great Encantadian War.
Avria could not be defeated easily even as her kingdom succumbed, as the queen swore that Etheria would return to power once the last Sang'gre is born.
Meanwhile, Etheria's most powerful weapon, the Ginintuang Orasan (Golden Hourglass), was lost and ultimately forgotten as time passed.
The prophecy was fulfilled. The last Sang'gre was born, and the Ginintuang Orasan was discovered. Etheria is about to rise again from the ashes and become the mighty kingdom it used to be.
