I've never actually started a serious thread so I have no idea how to post the first post in one! ;D
Anyway, discuss! ;D
Did you get this idea from the current conversation on the Mary-Sue conversation? I think Blaggut is the best thing ever to happen to Redwall, I wish to see more of him, sounds like a good fanfic...
Vilu attacking Luke's island.
No, really.
If he hadn't done that, Martin would've never become anything and there'd be no Redwall.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
Ashleg has solved the mystery of Redwall. ;D
Muahahaaaaaaah!

Except Luke didn't live on an island. :p
He lived on the northern shores, which was an island, just like North and South America combined are islands. ;D

CONTINENTS

The northern shores aren't an island, they're on the same land mass as Mossflower (otherwise, how did Luke's tribe get there from Saint Ninians in the first place?), just further north. The actual shape of the continent probably corresponds to Britain, just not to scale.
Continents I know are continents, but continents could be islands if you zoom out enough to see that they aren't connected to anything else. ;D

This explains it.

If you want to get real technical, Mossflower and the Northlands are based on England, Scotland, some random place with a desert and stuff. So Luke did live on an island, though I wouldn't call it his island. Its a big island, but not nearly as large as Australia or Greenland, or Ireland.
As for my favorite point in the series, well there is a lot of cool and amazing moments in Redwall. Pinpointing one is difficult, but one that does come to mind is when one of my favorite characters Queen Warbeak of the Sparra attacked the Longtails, allowing Matthias and Co. to turn the tide of the battle.
Its such a great scene, emotional and stuff. And for the first time we really see just how much Matthias might need to sacrifice just to get his son back.
As a chubby individual, the books are a delight to read.
I liked the detail that Brian Jacques put into every one of his books. It kept them interesting.

In some ways, yeas, but in other ways not so much.
It would be really helpful if he reminded us of what a character's species is more because lots of times I'll be halfway through a book and think "I don't/like that guy...What is he again?"
It would also have been better for art and such, if the secondary characters had more of a description besides what they sometimes got.
But hey, he certainly had talent when writing about creepy places and food. ;D
Especially when you're starving in class, those food descriptions can have some effects on people.
Are you reading Redwall books in class?!

Haha, oh man, that picture is killing me. ;D
And yes?
You can too, if you bring one. XD
There are a lot of things I love about the Redwall series. I love the description, the characters and their dialogue, the detail, the writing style Brian Jacques used, and the fighting and war. But I'd say one of the ones I like the most is the theme of Good vs. Bad. There's a clear, consistent line between the two with very few and rare exceptions. Unlike the real world, good will always win in the end and there's no question about who is doing the right thing. It's black and white, and for someone who really struggles to understand social interactions and people, it's always fun to read.
There are also huge amounts of creativity and imagination that go into the book, and that's what makes a good book :P
