However, there is a generally accepted canon based on the most commonly recurring story details.
Long ago, the Land of Oz was merely a normal countryside.
Queen Lurline then ruled Oz alongside King Pastoria, the ruler of Oz before the Wizard arrived.
Wicked adapts the Broadway musical into a two-part film, following the unlikely friendship between Elphaba, born with green skin, and Glinda, a popular aristocrat, in the Land of Oz. As they navigate their contrasting paths, they evolve into Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
Before leaving Oz, Queen Lurline and King Pastoria had a child named Ozma.
