Deer in Mossflower??????

[The Shade]

On the back of the engilish cover of Salamanderstron there is a vermin flag. On top of that flag is what seems to be the skull of a deer. Do deer live in/around Mossflower country??

[MeadowR]

There must have been some around somewhere. I know Brian liked sticking to smaller animals in his stories, but deer are still native. Maybe they wanted to keep away from all the vermin and fighting so they all live in a particular, not so explored place on the land.

[The Shade]

Yeah, thats probably the best expaination.....

[Tam and Martin]

Hmm...Interesting thought! I agree on MeadowRabbit on this one. They probably live somewhere distant like the wolf that Urgan Nagru killed lives.

It's most likely the skull of a smaller animal, like a ferret or weasel or something, unless it has antlers. I can't find a pic of it, if you post one I'll be able to tell better.

Female deer have no antlers.

[The Shade]

This skull has antlers. And I don't know how to post pics like that....

You find a picture off of the internet of it the you right click on it. A option should appear that says "Propertys" and you left click on that. Copy the URL of that image then come back to the forum and put it in the url tags. Then click prrview befor you post in then you have it.

Maybe a Ferret, but nae a Weasel!

Thank you I don't have the time right now though....

Basil seems to be a big fan of stags, which I'm pretty sure are deer. But that was in the first book, before he made a solid foundation for his world.

[Ungatt Trunn]

The skull might not have been of a deer....but if basil says that there are Stages, then there must be deers.

[Romsca]

Yup!

[Buzz_Bumble]

My guess is that it's just a mistake. There are a few images that are simply wrong, usually it's because the illustrator didn't actually read the book (in some cases because it wasn't finished at that time the illustrations needed to be drawn).

IKR? In Pearls of Lutra, which has like the worst illustrations EVER! of any Redwall book, the mustelids (Romsca, Barranca, and Grath) have little cat-like faces
