The creatures in the castle helped free Kira and Aughra.The Dark Crystal is a 1982 dark fantasy film directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz. From her imprisonment, Aughra watched Kira as she was drained of her essence, and told her to fight back by calling to the creatures. The Garthim took her to the Castle of the Crystal, presented her to the Skeksis, and then imprisoned her in the Chamber of Life. Suddenly, Garthim broke into the Observatory, captured Aughra, and then destroyed the Observatory. Aughra could not tell him which to choose Jen had to determine the correct one.

She provided him with all of the crystal shards in her possession, one of which is the True Shard. There she explained the coming Great Conjunction, and told Jen that he needs to use the shard to heal the Crystal. After Jen shared that he was sent by urSu and was looking for a crystal shard, she released him and led him to her Observatory. She did not know any Gelfling had survived the Garthim War. As he wandered looking for her, she captured him. Jen began his quest to find the home of Aughra. As time passed the Skeksis went mad and Aughra retired to her observatory, rarely seen.Īs he lay dying, urSu the Master instructed Jen to visit Aughra and retrieve the True Shard from her. The urRu migrated to the valley, and Aughra witnessed the Skeksis crack the crystal. After the division, she learned from both the urRu and Skeksis. The pain of my lost eye was joined once to the joy I had in the urSkeks, but bitter, sour, poisoned rock is that joy to me now.Īughra was also present at the Second Great Conjunction and witnessed the division of the urSkeks into Skeksis and urRu. Then from that light my eye darkened, and in that moment of light the urSkeks opened the door in the Crystal and entered our World. I lay under rocks with one eye open to the light, and for one moment and forever I saw the Eye of the Three Suns shining down upon me. I lay on the mountain above the Crystal and saw the Three Suns move close together. “On the day I gave one eye to see the splendor of the Three Suns, a new joy came to the World. They traveled through to the Crystal on Thra. Aughra learned that the urSkeks, exiled from their home, had a Crystal on their home world. The urSkeks built the Castle of the Crystal, and TekTih built Aughra an Observatory and Orrery for her to study the stars for signs of the next Great Conjunction. She exchanged knowledge with the urSkeks - she gave them knowledge of Thra, and in return they gave her knowledge of the stars. They healed her burns and restored sight to one of her eyes. The urSkeks found Aughra on the mountaintop, burned by the light of their arrival. She waited for the suns to align for the Great Conjunction to occur. She sensed the coming Great Conjunction that would bring immense change. Though all of Thra already looked to Aughra as a mother figure, becoming a true mother changed Aughra’s world entirely. In the time that Thra was a place of peace and harmony, Aughra had a son – Raunip. The Gelfling sang and danced for the joy of their lives, and I was part of their joy.

Then it was Aughra and the race of the Gelfling who shared the World. The First Age of Aughra was of innocence and it was long. Slowly, slowly the roots split the rock and I was free. Blind rocks that felt the heartbeat of the World blind trees swaying in the breathing of the wind made to view for them all the shapes of the World. The rocks will me to be their eye the roots willed me to be their eye.

The wind blew and the blind trees sang and roots twisted in the dark rocks and the roots sang and the rocks cracked and I was Aughra. Born from the need for rocks and trees for an eye to see the world. “Of the race of Aughra, I, Aughra, am alone, the first and last. Old enough to know the world that existed before the race of Gelfling came to be, Aughra remembered life on Thra before the Mystics and Skeksis evolved their separate codes. She is the embodiment of Thra, similar to a nature god. Aughra has one working detachable eye and two blind eyes. Wizened, three-and-a-half feet tall, ram-horned, three-eyed, ornery, capricious, and maternal.
