St. Kilda

St. Kilda is an odd and isolated little island in the Outer Hebrides.  Thought I'd read somewhere that this might have been partial inspiration for Qwghlm.

Inhabited for a couple thousand years with very limited contact with the outside world, St. Kilda was evacuated in the 1930s.

Notable ancient stone structure referred to as the Amazon's House.

The Sign of the Broken Sword

"Sir Arthur St. Clare, as I have already said, was a man who read his Bible. That was what was the matter with him. When will people understand that it is useless for a man to read his Bible unless he also reads everybody else's Bible?" . . . "Of course, he read the Old Testament rather than the New. Of course, he found in the Old Testament anything that he wanted—lust, tyranny, treason. Oh, I dare say he was honest, as you call it. But what is the good of a man being honest in his worship of dishonesty?" 

"In each of the hot and secret countries to which the man went he kept a harem, he tortured witnesses, he amassed shameful gold; but certainly he would have said with steady eyes that he did it to the glory of the Lord. My own theology is sufficiently expressed by asking which Lord?"
