Similarly Feanor, and the rest of the Noldo Wipe out the Teleri because they refused to give Feanor, and his sons the ships to make it to Middle Earth. The Scientist gets thrown in the pit by animals he experemented on. MaedHros jumps into a pit once he realizes he cannot hold the Silmarils anymore.

[[WMG: Rian is Jen's Ancestor]]

Of the three main protagonists of the series, Jen resembles Rian the most in overall appearance and especially his coloring. Rian is therefore of the Stonewood Clan, if not directly descended from Rian himself.

This was obviously when they were far more numerous, and was no doubt one of [=SkekTek's=] masterpieces: Unfortunately, the Skeksis pioneers that entered the wormhole never reported back, so the Emperor had the project discontinued. However, unbeknownst to him, they actually had arrived on a planet in the ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' universe. Pausing only to officially rename themselves the [[http://farscape.wikia.com/wiki/Halosian Halosians]], they then raided the local spaceport, took the best-armed of all the ships docked there, and flew off into the Uncharted Territories to carry on with their lifestyle of conquest and backstabbery.

Somehow, Halosians evolved from Skeksis who left their urSkek forms somehow. Wishing to explore other worlds just as the urSkeks had explored Thra, the Halosians created space travel, and the planets surrounding Thra and the world of the urSkeks are shown in ''Farscape.''

The goblins of ''Labyrinth'' look like something that could have evolved on Thra. In particular, Aughra and Hoggle look like they could be of the same species. The goblins therefore have some means of traveling to Earth, where their king ultimately hails from.

One of the episodes of ''Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge'' has contestants building Skeksis that were exiled from the castle centuries ago. If there really were outcasts who pre-dated the Chamberlain, and any of them survived until the Great Conjunction, they may not have had the chance to return to the castle in time to be there for the Crystal's healing. Their Mystic counterparts, in turn, may have left the Valley to become solitary hermits at the same time the corresponding Skeksis was exiled: Something the Chamberlain's counterpart would also have done, had their community not known the Conjunction was imminent.

Just look at the physical appearances of the Skeksis and compare them with Tzeentch's Lords of Change from {{Warhammer}}. They also both have a fondness of court intrigue and plotting. It also wouldn't be too hard to see that the planet is one within the Eye of Terror.

** Since we are dealing with Tzeentch's minions, the Garthim are probably the equivalent of the Thousand Sons' Rubric Marines: empty armor containing a trapped soul. They are described as "living suits that are still capable of fighting and receiving orders from their masters and with no fear and no will of their own they make perfect bodyguards and guardians." Sounds like a Garthim.
