The offspring could be described as and split into 3 groups: The small, mischievous Fairies, the horrid, ugly Goblins, and the beautiful, humanoid Faes (I know that Faes and Fairies are technicalily the same thing, but I'll explain later). The Faes were capable of altering time and space, changing their appearance, and were overall the most powerful of the Offspring, that is, if they become experienced enough. However, not long after The Crystal broke, the offspring disappeared. The Fairies, Goblins and Faes were all transported to a strange land, on a different planet, in what was like an alternate dimension. Confused, The Offspring scrambled the Strange Land, trying to find out where they are. The Offspring found that they weren't only creatures in the Labyrinth. Some other creatures from Thra somehow came to the Strange Land. Eventually, the Offspring and the Creatures forgot where they came from and what they were trying to achieve. The creatures grew and developed into the Dwarfs, the Fire Tribe (Which would later shrink into the Fire Gang), and several anthropomorphic animals. Everything was peaceful, until the Faes, using their magical abilities, took almost complete control over the Strange Land. The Faes, who were split into several clans, were now basically the dominant species in the Strange Land. As the Fae clans ruled, a clan (which I'll call the Labyrinth Clan for obvious reasons) attacked the Goblin City, which was, of course, home to the Goblins, the ugly ones of the Offspring. The Labyrinth Clan later became the Goblin Kingdom once the Labyrinth Clan gained enough territory, named after the Offspring that mostly inhabited it. The Goblin Kingdom grew into the largest Fae-ruled kingdom in the Strange Land. The Prince of the Goblins, Jareth, learned to alter Time and Space from his father, the Goblin King. Once Jareth became King, he slowly started to feel bored and empty. During his rule, he fell for Mizumi, Queen of Moraine, but then ditched her because he felt she didn't actually love him (She did, and that actually happened in the manga, Return to Labyrinth). Jareth then, in the 70's - 80's, fell for a girl named Sarah and then kidnaps her brother because go watch Labyrinth right now please. - Mixingitall/h4
