Martin's Sword

[Coobreedan]

YEEEEEEES!

I also love how there's an inscription running down Martin's sword. Kind of like Sting from LotR.

I don't like the inscription. Kind of makes it seem like the sword is ONLY Matthias's.

[Nightfire]

They only did that in Mattimeo and Redwall, though. I don't remember it ever having an inscription on the Martin the Warrior cartoon.

I wouldn't have been the same blade, so it did not.

[Coobreedan]

The inscription was placed by Boar, so Matthias is probably in the Salamandastron timeline where Lord Brocktree is.

I don't actually remember any of the books mentioning the sword having that written in it. I might be wrong though, but I thought Nelvana made that up.

Martin's armour played a large role in Redwall and Mattimeo, but I don't recall Martin ever wearing any armour! Amy thoughts behind this? I'm pretty sure I already know the answer...

I made a post about it on another, similar topic here, that covers Martin's armor.

[DanielofRedwall]

Ah, yes, of course, the fight between Martin and Tsarmina! Forgot that bit! Thanks, James!

[Log-a-Log]

In the later books they always find the sword or the sword is passed on. But what ever happened to the armor after Mattimeo?

[James Gryphon]

Well, my best guess was recorded in a similar question about Martin's shield. I assume Martin II kept it, but didn't take it with him in Pearls of Lutra because it was too bulky for a long voyage.

Since Martin II was the last mouse warrior of Redwall, my guess is that the armor stayed in the gatehouse, and was eventually moved somewhere else, maybe back down to Martin's tomb, to keep it safe and out of the way.

I still think the fallen star metal thingie is a pretty cool idea.

[Taggerung The Otter]

i would love to weild it

Okay I found something about the blade's writing.

From:Redwall

Down the center of the blade ran a blood channel, either side of which there were symbols which Matthias could not make out.
