Age of Harmony
The urSkeks Bring Knowledge to the Gelfling, and the Gelfling Populate Thra
“To the gentle Gelfling they brought the gifts of culture, knowledge and enlightenment. They gave them tools and craft-lore and showed them that nature could be humbled and the world could be civilized. Before long, the Gelfling race spread its reach far and wide across the face of Thra.”
Raunip Doubts the urSkeks
“Raunip decided he had heard enough. He had wondered why the star-being left their world for Thra, and while there were clues to be found in the urSkeks‘ words… Raunip felt the answer lay hidden elsewhere. It was locked within the glint and glimmer of the Crystal. For if the Crystal had summoned the urSkeks to Thra, perhaps it could also send them back.”

Age of Division
The urRu Leave the Castle for the Valley of the Stones
“The Skeksis held the Castle; the urRu fled when the Harmony was broken. They were filled with sadness, and made their way to the Valley of the Stones. There they could shelter and meditate concealed. They chose that twisting valley, home of mists, for that it resembled the world they had left to come to us; water flowed from abundant springs, caves filled the rocky slopes. They made it fit for their use. I helped, I chose stones and guided the stones to allow themselves to be shaped. There the urRu made stone circles of power, the framework of the valley, everlasting protection.”
Raunip leads the Makraks to the Field of Fire
“And that’s the last anyone saw of strange, brave Raunip. Heading out into the Wasteland with his new friends, looking for their new home, they had many adventures together – the Pirate Birds of Lados, The Great Mountain of Kral – but only Raunip and the others know the truth of those stories.”

At first the bats flew only in the dark, after the manner of their kind; but the Skeksis bred from the bolder and hardier strains, till no corner of the World was unknown to them.”
