Once again I took a look at the old clan contest, but some things make me think.

1. If I understood it, the 10 currently existing clans are the following: Manhattan, Labyrinth, London, Ishimura, Guatemala, Avalon, Xanadu, Loch Ness and New Olympus - is that right?

2) So what´s the thing with London? Does it mean, that not only the little clan which met Goliath&Co at their journey lives in london, but that the bigger clan they came from (which we where not introduced yet) is also located in London? Does it mean all Gargoyles, that are living in England, are living in London?

3. What is the thing with the Labyrinth? I didn´t get it. Which labyrinth is meant? The one the Minotaurus was locked up? Or the hedge labyrinth? Or another?
- PS: Ooooh, now I´ve got an idea: Could it be, that you mean the Labyrinth in Manhattans Underground? (I never thought of it as a Gargoyleclan, cause there´s no real Gargoyle living in, but just human mutates.)

5. If the Loch Ness clan is currently existing, why didn´t they help the Nessies, when they where in danger?

6. England, Japan, Guatemala, China, Korea - in all these countrys are Gargoyles already living in the Dark Ages, aren´t they?

6) About how many clans where in each of this countrys?

7) In which countrys have in the Dark Ages also been clans, but totally stamped out or expeled during the following centuries?

8) When the englishmen hunted their gargoyles and drove them out of their land, how did it come, that one gargoyleclan survived and that they didn´t find them during all the centurys?

9) Did any of the english gargoyles flee into another land, when they where hunted? If so, what happened to them?

Ed writes...

Most of the gargoyles we've met look different depending on where they live. The Ishimura gargoyles have Japanese dress obviously, but also Zafiro and the London gargoyles have obvious differences. We have an idea from Griff's words in 'M.I.A.' that the Scottish gargoyles nowadays large resemble how they looked in 994. You also suggested in your 'bible' that the Chinese gargoyles might be dragon-like but what about in other places?

Do the gargoyles in New Olympus and Korea look any different? And what about the Paris gargoyles?

Ed writes...

After "THE JOURNEY", how long would it be before people twigged that there were London gargoyles? Una and Leo must look pretty realistic and the enormous differences in appearance probably won't concern people looking for nocturnal guys with wings, claws and talons.

KW Keller writes...

Gargoyle questions:

1. About what point in time did the London clan start using names?
2. About what point in time did the Ishimura clan start using names?
3. Do all the clans still in existance use names now?

Vashkoda writes...

Some questions on the clans:

1) You said that the New Camelot area would still have normal day/night cycles and the temperature would be regulated so that the knights don't freeze. =) a) Is Merlin in any way responsible for these effects? b) Will New Camelot be self-sustainable? (i.e.--the area would be able to provide the knights with food, cloth and other necessary items?) c) Because of the day/night cycles, does time move differently there? d) How do the clan travel from Antarctica to the other continents? (by boat, plane, or some other way?)

2a) When you picked Korea as a clan location, was it simply to pay homage to the ones there who helped animate the show, or did you have some other reason, and can you say what that is? b) Which spin-offs might feature the Korea clan?

3a) Is there any particular reason why you didn't make any surviving clans live in Africa? b) Were there ever any clans in Africa? c) If so, did they migrate elsewhere, or were they completely wiped out?

Adam writes...

I just found this question in the archives:

I've noticed that a lot of people are putting Antarctica down for the clan contest. But since Antarctica basically has one long day and one long night, what kind of effect would that have on the gargoyles stone sleep cycle?

Greg responds...
I can't answer this question while the contest is on-going. Ask me when or if the contest ever ends.

I'll go ahead and take you up on that one.

1. How does the long day/night cycle affect the New Camelot clan?

2. Or is the day/night cycle one of the things about the continent that changes between 1994 and 2158?

3. Is the unusual length of days and nights one of the reasons why Antarctica was chosen as the location of New Camelot?

Sapphire writes...

Since Paris is one the 14 clans that will exist in the far future gargoyle series that was originally Gargoyles 2158 but now being revised I was wondering was there a Gargoyle clan living in Paris at the time of Goliath's awakening or will a Paris clan only exist if Gargoyles from other clans come to Paris to create a new one later on?

KW Keller writes...

Guatemalan gargoyle questions:

1. Do the pendants worn by the clan also rejuvenate them, as they don't turn to stone while wearing the pendants?

2. Do gargoyles wearing the pendants age at half-speed like normal gargoyles, of at a human rate since they don't become stone?

3. Were Zafiro, Jade, Turquesa, and Obsidiana the only members of their clan who normally used the pendants, or were they just the gargoyles wearing them when the rest of the clan was destroyed?

Vashkoda writes...

Some Guatemala questions:

1a) If a clan has survived there all this time, why didn't the Mayans that shared the temple with them also survive? b) Were the Mayans killed/kidnapped/dispersed as recently as the raid that took out most of the clan, or did it happen long ago?

2) I was wondering if Jade's headdress bore any kind of significance? Does he have a status that differs from the others in the clan?

3a) Can any in the clan perform magic? b) Would anyone in the Gargoyles Universe (still living) have the knoweldge and the power to make another sun amulet and set of magic pendants?

4a) You mentioned that Jade and Turquesa would go on a few skiff adventures before returning home. In which spin-off would you imagine these adventures might be seen in? 4b) If you're willing, please mention one location where they will travel to.

5) Will they be allowed to bring their pendants with them when they enter Avalon? If not, what will they do with them?

Todd Jensen writes...

Well, we now know that the Xanadu clan is one of the currently-existing clans, alongside the gargoyles in Korea and New Olympus. And based on the evidence in "Heritage", I'd assume that the Queen Florence Island clan is one of the clans that won't be introduced until after 2158 (or whatever the new year for "Gargoyles 2158" will be).

So which of the two remaining clans is the tenth present-day one? Loch Ness or Paris? (I'm thinking Loch Ness myself, since it's easier to imagine a gargoyle clan successfully hiding in Loch Ness than in Paris, and because you indicated in your answer about Taro's theme park that there aren't any gargoyles in Paris currently, but I'd just like to make certain).

Vashkoda writes...

You just revealed that the Xanadu clan is the other contemporary clan. You also previously mentioned that Brooklyn would find Fu-Dog in China during his travels. Which makes me wonder.....

1a) Does the Gate bring Brooklyn to present-day (or at least what would be the present relative to the "Gargoyles" show time-line) China? b) If not the present, around which period would it be (ancient, medieval, future, etc), on each (if there's more than one) of the occassions Brook would travel to China?

2a) Is Xanadu the only Chinese location the Gate brings Brook to? (assuming it even takes him to Xanadu). 2b) Does Brooklyn find Fu-dog in Xanadu, or in another Chinese clan?

3a) Around what age would Fu-dog be when Brook first finds him? (I think you said he wasn't a puppy) b) Did Fu-dog leave a mate or any progeny behind when he left with Brooklyn?

4) Do the Ishimura, Korea, and Xanadu clans know about each other?

5) In the contest, you didn't give credit for listing Beijing as the home of the Xanadu clan, even though that's where Kublai Khan had his capital--which is the place some believe Coleridge's "Xanadu" referred to. So my question is--where (approximately) in China *is* Xanadu?

6) Dragons play a big role in Chinese (and many other) mythologies. Are these legends simply based on gargoyles and their beasts--who may resemble dragons, on fey who chose to assume dragon form, or on a separate species all-together?

Lexy writes...

(Questions on Yama and Sora)

1) In "Bad Guys" you had planned on Yama being part of the crew. But I doubt that will occure exactly that way if the regular "Gargoyles" series ever comes back. So..
Did you plan on having Yama try to redeem himself in some other way?

2) You mentioned that Sora was going to be one of the females included in the Manhattan Rookery. Why did she go all the way there to lay her egg? Was it do to some clause in Bushido? (I personally don't think that gargs have a hang up on dishonor being passed down ..but thought I'd ask)

Sam writes...

Hello,
I was just curious, biologically, how old was everyone in the mini clan back in 1996? Thanks alot!

Ambrosia writes...

Yay, the clan contest is over!

Okay, I've wanted to ask you this ever since I realized that Rome wasn't a clan location: You had said that it was the Magus of Rome who cast the "clothes turning to stone" spell because the emperor was sick of naked gargoyles running around. So... what happened to the Roman clan? Did they die out?
Thanks!

Todd Jensen writes...

A fresh question about the now-solved clan contest:

When you first began this one in 1997 (I believe), you mentioned that the 14 clans consisted of the six that we already knew, two currently-existing ones that were hinted at in the series, two more currently-existing ones that were not hinted at anywhere in the series, two future clans that would be brought about through the long-term goals of cast members, and two future clans (established post-2158 originally, although it's obviously going to be a different year now) that were foreshadowed in the series.

Now, the eight clans on the confirmed list besides the six on-stage ones are: New Olympus, Korea, Xanadu, Paris, Loch Ness, New Camelot, Wyvern, and Queen Florence Island.

New Olympus we know is one of the two present-day hinted-at ones (since the New Olympians mention knowing gargoyles). Korea, obviously, is one of the two present-day not-hinted-at "you-can-only-guess-it-if-you're-psychic" ones, since Korea was never mentioned in the series. So that brings the number down to six.

Now, obviously the New Camelot and Wyvern clans don't exist yet, and they both fit the description for the earlier "pre-2158" future clans: New Camelot would be a fulfillment of King Arthur's long-term goals, and Wyvern would fit in with the "nostalgia" element that you mentioned one of these clans having. So that leaves us with four: Loch Ness, Paris, Queen Florence Island, and Xanadu.

Here's where the question creeps in: which one of these four is the remaining contemporary unhinted-at-one? Now, it's obviously not Loch Ness (since Sevarius speculates about a clan there in "Monsters" and even initially believes Angela to be part of it before he examines her genetic structure and discovers that she's Goliath and Demona's daughter) or Queen Florence Island (partly because we know that there aren't any gargoyles now, and partly because Raven's illusionary clan would obviously count as a foreshadowing). So that narrows it down to Paris and Xanadu.

But both, one can argue, are also "foreshadowed" - Paris via "Sanctuary" and the opening flashback of "Hunter's Moon Part Three" (where Demona kills Charles Canmore at Notre Dame), and Xanadu in "Her Brother's Keeper" where Xanatos has an upstate retreat with the same name. So which one of these is the "unforeshadowed" one?

Todd Jensen writes...

Now that the clan contest is over (and congratulations, Vashkoda!), I thought that I'd ask you about one of the particular clan-answers.

It seems clear now that you're placing New Camelot in Antarctica. What I'm curious about is: why there? While Antarctica does have some advantages for being the site of Arthur's new home (it's out of the way, and isn't part of any nation-state), it's also one of the most inhospitable places on the planet. Wouldn't the harsh cold be something of a problem for making it Arthur's permanent base of operations (well, the gargoyles there would be able to weather the cold, but it might not be so great for any human members of the court)?

Joey Aspenwall writes...

Ok.
I just want to know the manhatten clan gargoyles ages. Sorry if im rude, stupid or anything, i just wanna know their ages.

Todd Jensen writes...

Were the ancestors of the London clan the gargoyles whom Arthur was acquainted with during his reign? I assume that they were in Britain already at the time because of Griff's "hatchling riddle" about Excalibur in "Pendragon" (the episode) - not to mention the fact that their presence in Arthur's kingdom would explain those references in the legends to lions, unicorns, and griffons in Arthurian Britain - but I just wanted to make certain.

1. What were the names of the four members of the Guatamalan clan before they were given the pendants? (It's odd that I'd ask you a question that I don't really expect you to have an answer to. Consider it definitive prove that the universe is a silly place.)

2. Will they revert to their old names when they "retire"?
(2b. Am I correct in assuming that, unless they die, they'll eventually pass their pendants on to younger gargoyles?)

Alright, this better net at least 13 full, because research is quite annoying. If not, I will suicide.
I probably should not post 1 big one, because then I help others know the good ones, but oh well. I don't really need a gargoyles prize anyway, so in the spirit of communism, I say, someone get this done, the state does not care who. Everyone else will be shot. =) Das ist alles.
And yeah, Germany wasn't communist. So what.
Nazism actually denounced communism.

For starters I love the show and I was deeply saddened when it was canceled.My question is that you mentioned that one Zafiro's descendants would play a role in 2158.
1)Who exactly would his/her parents be?
2)Will any other descendants of clans from the world tour play a part?
3)Who exactly is/was Zafiro's mate?

a crack at the clan
I dont know if it is me, but from other posts, you first just added points up then said the full and halves...i have a question......lets say i said manhattan and new york...would that be one or one and a half....assuming that new york is in reference to the manhattan clan and not the labyrinth...for that matter if i said castle wyvern in scotland and it is wrong,,,would you be giving me half point, since there are living in castle wyvern in manhattan, you know xanatos's tower.Basically do you get credit for the same place twice???

Am I correct in assuming that the one answer that no one has a clue about yet is the reason you think this contest is basically impossible? Is one answer really _that_ viscious?

9 - Manhattan
10 - Labyrinth
11 - Caerleon, Wales
12 - Wyvern, Scotland

14 - Nazca, Peru (The lines can only really be seen from the air, so it just makes sense to me to put a clan here to take advantage of the view)

Well, that's guess number 7 for me. More to come after I get the chance to do a little more research.
