hey guys, I've been wondering, what's the history behind the ditch in front of redwall?  ??? I'm thinking it was from building and landscaping parts of the abbey?

What do you think?
No the ditch was there in "Mossflower' the book BEFORE they build the abbey.

I still think it's a dried up river. :P

This is a suggestion, but maybe it could've been a very, very, very small abyss like the one in Mattimeo, although once again, much much smaller.

I guess we'll never know for sure. I kind of like not knowing much about Mossflower and the world of redwall... It keeps things interesting. If everything was perfectly simple and clear as black and white, what fun would that be??? It would take away from the adventure in my opinion..

Gears

yup, but i think it was dug so an enemy could only charge the gates if they were over ditch, thus in weapon range.
Yeah, I do stuff sometimes.

Taggerung The Otter

how would it have been dug as an attack syrem if'n there was noting tae attack

I think it may have been a defense system developed by those that built Kotir.

Never thought of that.

Skipper

its not, if you read long patrol it says the south wall of the abbey is built on one of Koiters walls so it isnt far from Koiter

Nightfire

Think: Kotir, vs an invading army. The army would have to cross the ditch first, and that would give the Kotir defenders time to fire off a few dozen volleys of arrows, which would mow down the first batch of invanders.


That would actually make an interesting fanfic....
