Sampetra

[Faiyloe]

I remember it giving me that impression with the whole crossing the sea and every thing but I don't remember it ever saying that it was an island.  I may be wrong though.

I'll have to look into that!

Sampetra and Redwall

1.  The map references Sampetra as North West
2.  Conva and others sail mostly East and South away from Sampetra to Mossflower
3.  It took Conva 2 seasons to make a round trip with a few stops
4.  Ublaz already knows of Redwall and its legendary reputation
5.  Ublaz references Redwall as 'half way around the world'
6.  Lask sails into colder waters then warmer waters
7.  Martin and friends sail north through cold waters prior to arriving in the tropical sampetra.

Conclusionary Theory
Ublaz is one of the most worldly knowledgeable creatures in the series.  Redwall's reputation is world renown, possibly the first time a mouse has ever slain a cat (martin in mossflower).  Sampetra is infact half way around the world South of Mossflower country/continent and character travel half way around the world at an angle to get between the two, hence sailing through cold seas to get to a tropical island.  For this reason the fictional Sampetra is more representative of the British colonys in Australia than the Caribbeans, in that it also has monitor lizards.  Or the planet that Redwall exists on could have a more drastically tilted axis so that the equator is colder than the poles, putting the Northlands of Mossflower closser to the equator, Redwall south of the equator, and Sampetra north of the equator.

Not sure about the Australia correlation. It is odd that they went through cold weather from hot weather, then back to warm

I agree. I also don't think they are the same islands.

@Granitfur it's good to have you on the forum, thanks for bringing some life back to the book discussion sub forums.

Everyone else I know got tired of hearing about Redwall, so my mother found this forum for me.

Lol! Sounds like you just might fit in here!
