When ages of misuse of the great Crystal of Truth means the rapacious
Skeksis can no longer draw its power to prolong their deplorable existence,
SkekTek the Scientist is ordered to find a solution
Though by far the most diligent and meticulous of his kind, SkekTek is no
less cruel or unprincipled than his fellows. The culmination of his wicked
experiments upon the now darkened Crystal propels him to an answer so diabolical
that it will reshape the power structures of Thra forever; plunging the world
into war. In order to sustain their wretched lives and preserve their corrupt
rule, the Skeksis must forcibly steal the living essence of their Gelfling
subjects, gorging themselves drunkenly upon the distilled juices of their
captives. Yet in devising this clever solution, the Scientist has also
constructed a rod for his own back, for now he must keep the flow of essence
constant or call down upon himself the wrath of the Emperor and his terrible
punishments.
The three different sized circular bases across our 1:6 scale Dark Crystal
range represent the three suns in the skies of Thra; the dying sun, rose sun,
and great sun. Familiar iconography from the floor of the Crystal Chamber are
featured around the outside. Spy the symbols of the UrSkek, which have since
been appropriated as signs of discord and Skeksis aggression.
