Information
Deep in Mossflower woods, the wildcat warlord Verdauga
Greeneyes lies ailing in his massive castle, Kotir. He
has ruled over the woodlanders with an iron fist for some
time, but now his own daughter, Tsarmina, with the help of
Fortunata the Vixen is trying to murder him. They suceed,
and Verdauga's pleasant son, Gingivere, is blamed and thrown
into the dungeons. Around this time, two mice, an outsider
named Martin, and the mousethief Gonff, have been captured.
They escape aided by the Corim, or the Council Of Resistance
In Mossflower, and go to Brockhall, the ancestral home of
Bella the Badger. There, a plot is hatched to end the days
of Kotir, and Martin, Gonff, and the mole Dinny head of to
get Boar the Fighter, father of Bella. It is believed that
he will know how to defeat the wildcat Empress. Upon arriving
at Salamandastron, the Badger mountain, a great battle takes
place. Boar is kille by searats, but not before he can
make Martin a beautiful new sword. Martin and his friends steal
the searat ship, and sail for Mossflower. They get there to find
that tunnels have been dug from the river to Kotirs dungeons,
and the flooding that was planned was not going well.
Fortunatly Gingivere had managed to escape with the help of
the Otter, Mask. Mask, however, died in his rescue attempt,
but will always be remembered. The searat ship is sunk
in the river, and the subsequent damming causes the tunnels
to fill in rapidly. In no time at all, Kotir is no more than
a memmory. Martin finishes of Tsarmina, but is severly
injured in the process. He is cared for by Abbess Germaine
of Loamhedge, and makes a full recovery. Gonff weds his beloved
Columbine, and Martin oversees the construction of a fabulous
place, an Abbey where all can live in peace. The great Abbey
of Redwall.
