so were the muppets. because the skeksis are not originally from thra, they have been able to use their advanced technology to keep the more primitive and rustic gelfling under their thumb and dependent on their generosity. they built a castle around the crystal of truth and harness its power in secret in order to extend their own lives. their experiments have corrupted the crystal of truth and created a sickness that is spreading across thra known as the darkening. they essentially draw energy from the land to keep themselves alive.  however the gelfling remain unaware and continue to be loyal to the skeksis, who rule over them. while the gelfling strive for peace, the skeksis enjoy nothing more then sadistic games and wanton cruelty. they love the finer things in life and spend their days adorned in voluminous robes and garish jewelry, feasting and loafing about their huge castle. they hide their villainous nature behind a smile. but their love of a good party and a fancy necklace hides a deep fear of their own mortality and an obsession with cheating death.   gy/characters/urskeks/skeksis/   what if crimea-kun cuts his rate for the full 'girlfriend experience'?
