Salamandastron's Secret Room

[Mariel]

I have several questions:

1. Who made all the paintings in the room, foretelling all that would happen?

2. What is in the incense the badgers burn?It must be pretty strong.

3. How do the ancient badger warriors bodies not stink and decay? Are they mummified ?

4. Do the paintings show what happened to the ancient badger warriors?

Hmm, think thats some of my biggest unanswered questions.

Letsee here....

1.) Something wants to say the previous Badger Lord, but how would they know?  Maybe Salamandastron has a hare mystic or seer.

2.) Incense is pretty strong anyway.  Go into a small room with that stuff and I bet it can leave you wanting air.

3.) That would be my guess.

4.) Not sure; its never really explained what is in the room, except that its not for hares to see.  Its actually more mysterious because we never do find out.

Ceteruler the Just must have been the one to make the first ones. Then as Badger Lord/Lady follows Badger Lord/Lady, carvings are added by the badgers who had visions.

Yes, that is most likely the answer.

Are you sure of that? They're mystical carvings that predict the future, perhaps they were always there, even before creatures walked the earth.

[BadgerLordFiredrake]

Didn't Lord Brocktree, the first book in chronological order, have them?

Ceteruler the Just was there before that.

[BadgerLordFiredrake]

And Spearlady Gorse and the others, too.

[The Shade]

Doesn't it say who the first badger ruler was?? Wasn't it Ceteruler or Bluestripe
