Castle Marl

  Where and what was Castle Marl?  I forgot.

[Redwallfan7]

Castle Marl was in Marlfox. it was the castle where the marlfox queen and marlfox siblings lived.

[Rainshadow]

  Oh, wow.  I feel so lame in not recognizing the name lol.  Marl.  Marlfox.  Wow.

[Redwallfan7]

Lol, it's okay. I have more than one dumb moment sometimes

Originally, it was home to a badger lord, the one that didn't have the stripe on him, Ughwhyte I believe. He had a sibling and left Castle Marl (I can't remeber the original name before) and became the badger lord. At least, that's what I've read.

[AxeHound]

Um, yeah. It's Urthwhyte. 

The ramps were probably for Silth's palanquin and the rats became farmers.

[Dalek Fur]

Whoops! Misspelled his name 

[Kitsune]

I don't think there was any actual purpose for the ramps. Maybe they helped with the building of the castle then they were just left there afterwords, or maybe it was just the architect

My guess, too.

If the palaquin carriers tripped going down the stairs, then Queen Silth would have thrown them to the teeth of the deep. Also the idea of ramps is more easier to climb than stairs.
