Locations
The Redwall universe is centered around Redwall Abbey, a red sandstone abbey. Built after the events of Mossflower, it is the home to many of the good animals of Mossflower Woods. Another important location is the mountain fortress of Salamandastron, home to the Badger Lords and the famed hares of the Long Patrol, the mountain's army. There are many other places, such as the fortress Riftgard, Loamhedge, and Green Isle. Also, a main waterway is the River Moss. In some stories, such as The Bellmaker and The Legend of Luke, most of the story takes place onboard sailing ships and many dangers are only those involving the weather and damage resulting from such.
Much of the wildlife in the books from the northern lands (such as the highlanders or borderers in Rakkety Tam) are primarily native to Scotland specifically, such as pine martens and golden eagles. A lake monster known as the Slothunog is suggestive of Nessie and appears in High Rhulain, and a similar creature in Salamandastron known as the Deepcoiler also appears.
