Sgundor Dwide is a mentioned-only location in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. A planet that rains diamonds, it was once home to the Glarnots.

Story

It is unknown when the so-called weathermen caste came into power by learning to track and secure diamond storms on Sgundor Dwide. However, once they did, their complete control over the planet's diamond exports made them extremely wealthy, while the rest of the Sgundoran population was left in poverty.

The Glarnots were a group of rebels and jewel thieves that hid their identities behind carved masks, and raided diamond operations to return the wealth to their people. They managed to steal about five diamonds before they were captured and set to be publicly executed. The Glarnots, in their final speech, urged the citizens to resist, and then were killed. Despite their efforts, the Sgundoran diamond trade remains as strong as ever and possession of a Glarnot mask is now punishable by death.

Characteristics

Little is known about Sgundor Dwide, but it is a planet where it perpetually rains diamonds. A powerful group of Sgundorans known as the "weathermen" have the ability to track and secure storms, thus controlling the planet's wealth, profiting from diamond exports while the rest of the population fights for food.

Gameplay

Sgundor Dwide doesn't appear in-game, only being mentioned in the Glarnot Mask's description and during the related Collectible conversation between Peter Quill and Rocket; the former mistakenly remembers it as "the planet that rains emeralds" but is corrected by Rocket.
