The plaque by SkekOk reads; "THE DANGER OF REWRITNG HISTORY: SkekOk, voiced by Neil Sterenberg in The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (2019), is the most dangerous of the Skeksis, the maleficent, self-proclaimed rulers of the land of Thra. Officially known as the Scroll Keeper, SkekOk rewrites history and official records to suit the narrative of the Skeksis' reign, pushing their politicial agenda. Drunk off the essence elixirs, the SkekOk and his fellow Skeksis are gluttons for parties and snacks. In conceptualizing the Skeksis, Jim henson was inspired by Jacobean-era costumes, characters from Charles Dickens' novels, and illustrations from Lewis Carroll."
