you said that when the wyvern clan got too big it split up to form two clans. would this happen in 'Dark Ages
' or before that?
Greg responds...
In DARK AGES, but not until years into the series.
Yttrium writes...
You've mentioned that Bronx wouldn't be hatched when DARK AGES began. Would he have been hatched later down the line in the series?
---Ytt
Greg responds...
Yes. If we lasted long enough. Dark Ages starts in 971. Bronx hatches in 978. But in my dreams, we'd run the Dark Ages series for 23 years... from 971 to 994.

DARK AGES q's:
1) Who was the leader before Hudson? Would we see him/her in DARK AGES?
2) Do you intend to have characters that would look like they could be the parents of the trio? (I'm such a human, I know, but biological parentage is a curiosity of mine.)
3) Would Bronx be in it? I love Bronxy.
4) Would Malcolm's brother Kenneth and nephew Chalvim play any role in it?
5) Would Constantine?
---Ytt
Greg responds...
1. No. Hudson was already leader by the time Dark Ages begins.
2. Maybe.
3. Not initially. He wouldn't have hatched yet. Other beasts though.
4. Yes.
5. Yes.

Hi Greg,
Now I got you :)! In "City of stone" we see, that Demona is the leader of a little clan, that is robbing scotland. The first time I saw the ep, there was nothing strange on it. But then, I saw something verry, verry weird: One of the Gargoyles is 100% identical with one of the Avalon clan (Its the gargoyle with the brestplate. In "C.o.s." he is arguing with Demona, and in "Avalon, pt.2" he sits in the castle). That he lives on Avalon must mean, that his father is from the Wyvern clan and, so we all thought, is dead. But in "C.o.S." we could see his father alive. So he must be a survivor of the Wyvern massakre...
Well, maybe you could bring some light in that.
CU, John
Greg responds...
No. You're forgetting that a few years before the massacre, Wyvern's Gargoyle population was larger than the location could sustain (or than the humans of the castle would tolerate). Many of those gargoyles left Wyvern to form a new clan, that ultimately didn't fair much better than Wyvern did.

Dear Mr Weisman,
Regarding Timedancer and The Dark Ages, given the time, would you plan to turn both of those into animated shows, or do you feel they are best left as part of the written world?
Greg responds...
Given the opportunity, I'd gladly do either as animated series.
Man Mountain writes...
Hi Greg, I know you dont like quantifying things, but let me ask you this. As far as the modern Gargates are concerned, were there ever hundreds of clans? Thousands? Millions? And if so, when? Just asking for a ballpark figure, nothing exact or binding. Thanks!
Greg responds...
Hundreds, sure, maybe even thousands. But long ago -- pre-Dark Ages.
Ithica writes...
A follow-up to my previous set of questions---
1. In Dark Ages, would there be any gargoyle beasts playing large roles? Playing any roles at all?
2. Who would be the ruler at the time--- Malcolm, Katherine, or neither one? I'm putting my money on Malcolm, though.
Greg responds...
1. Yes.
2. Malcolm once the war is won.
Ithica writes...
Dark Ages:
1. Do you have many characters thought out for Dark Ages? You've mentioned, lessee, Hudson in the lead, Goliath, Hudson's mate, Demona, Othello, Desdemona, and Iago, as main chracters, and the trio as supporting characters. Any others you care to devulge?
2. Would Bronx have been hatched yet?
3. I imagine Hudson would be more in his prime, and those of Goliath's generation young adults. Would those of the trio's age be hatchlings?
4. What would you refer to the characters by, seeing as gargoyles don't use names? Ex, would Hudson be 'Leader' or 'Mentor' in this context?
5a. Do you plan on creating gargs that would appear as if they were the trio's biological parents?
5b. You've told us in the past that Hudson is Broadway's father, and I for one can see a few common physical traits. Would Hudson's mate, if she appears in Dark Ages, bear any resemblance to Broadway?
6. Would Broadway's sister Hippolyta appear in Dark Ages?
Thank you, Greg.
Greg responds...
1. Hippolyta. Malcolm. Robbie. Archmage.
2. Not at the beginning.
3. Kids.
4. I admit I have not as yet fully decided this question.
5a. Not specifically. I'm not as interested in biological parentage as many of you seem to be. But it might happen in a more incidental fashion.
5b. Some bit.
6. Yes. But it's pretty much a mistake to refer to her as his sister. His sisters from his point of view are the rookery sisters that are part of his generation. His biological connection to Hippolyta is unimportant.
Kayless writes...
Happy Rosh Hashanah!
1. A Wyvern is a mythical beast, akin to a dragon. So how come Wyvern Hill is named such? Did a battle with a wyvern occur here, or does one sleep in the caves under the ground? Or something else entirely?
Greg responds...
Not saying. But there's a hint in the Dark Ages pitch which you can see at any Gathering -- like next year's in Los Angeles.
Todd Jensen writes...
Which family did Princess Elena come from prior to her marriage to Prince Malcolm? In "Vows", her escort is described as "the Norman ambassador", which would suggest that she came from the ducal house of Normandy; on the other hand, Normandy was a dukedom rather than a kingdom, which makes me uncertain that a member of its Duke's family would have had the title of "Princess" prior to marrying Prince Malcolm. Which family did you see Elena coming from?
Greg responds...
From Normandy. The Norman's may have oversold Elena's title to help "sell" her to Malcolm. (Calling Malcolm a prince, by the way, is equally questionable now that his half-BROTHER is the king.)
