Another world. Another time. In the Age of Wonder.
A thousand years ago, this land was green and good. Until The Crystal cracked . For a single piece was lost - a Shard of The Crystal. Then strife began and two new races appeared: the cruel Skeksis ; the gentle Mystics .
Here in the Castle of The Crystal, the Skeksis took control. Now the Skeksis gather in the Sacred Chamber, where the The Crystal hangs above a shaft of air and fire. The Skeksis, with their hard and twisted bodies, their harsh and twisted wills. A thousand years they have ruled. Yet now, there are only ten. A dying race, ruled by a dying Emperor , imprisoned within themselves, in a dying land.
