Wyvern Hill - The hill upon which Castle Wyvern once stood, on the western coast of Scotland.
History
It was a home for gargoyles since time immemorial, and also had a series of human strongholds built upon it, whose builders and occupants formed a series of (temporary) alliances with the local gargoyle clan. The present-day Castle Wyvern was the last such stronghold, built in 971 and sacked in 994. At some point between 1996 and 2188, gargoyles (possibly descended from the original Wyvern clan - most likely via the Avalon clan) will resettle here and found a new clan at this place. The will also be known as the Wyvern Clan.
The hill may have been named because of the resident gargoyles; in medieval legend, a wyvern is a two-legged dragon, and it is quite possible that superstitious Scotsmen may have found it easy to confound gargoyles with dragons or wyverns
