Inns

[The Shade]

Does anyone remember in the book Mossflower it says Martin had eaten in farm houses, inns, and more offen, the odd slab of rock. So, about the inns. Thoughts???

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

Zere are probably zeveral, but ve juzt 'avenae zeen 'em. Ah zink ah might include vone in a ztory.

[The Shade]

I think that would be a good idea.

[rachel25]

Yeah I might put one in one of my stories too 

[Kitsune]

Ugh! I have this urge to write a story now, but I don't know what it should be about!

[Lutra]

Good question....where are the inns?  My guess is that inns weren't exactly safe around the time of Martin.  The only real security came from a fortress where everyone can hide inside.  Inns if and when they existed, were probably raided, pillaged, and never rebuilt.  There always seemed to be a lot of turmoil in Mossflower.  Can't say a kindly mouse would give a fox a nice bed and meal for the night.

[Romsca]

Sounds like they were probably run by vermin and they were mostly for vermin then

Yeah, I think your right, if there were inns, they were probably all destroyed by vermin.

[rachel25]

properly yeah sad though inns might have come in useful

I think inns add a nice ellment to a story. I think one of the probablems with an inn is currentcy. Money. There is NO money in redwall wich restrickes a lot of thing, including inns.That probably why BJ did'nt use them.

[Romsca]

Well, in my story I'm writing there will be currency; it just simply couldn't happen any other way

[Ungatt Trunn]

Who says that creatures in the world of Redwall couldn't set up Inns? They could start them just as easily as humans can.

[WoodlandWarrior]

This has always been something on my mind too.  Things like Inns and Taverns or even little townships and stuff.  Redwall certainly lends itself to it.

As far as currency, I could see good beasts running inns on trade or chores, it seems like only vermin are concerned with treasure.

[Shadowed One]

What if they had inns in Southward? They drove the vermin out of there, remember?

[Romsca]

When was that?
