The End of Redwall

[JangoCoolguy]

I think he'd end it on a happy note with ample room for the reader to imagine what'd happen after the book ended.

And heck, EVERY Tale of Redwall ended like that! 

[Leatho Shellhound]

Hmm, Salamandastron erupting... maybe not enough to effect Redwall. though. But then Redwall would get destroyed, thanks to the famished hares with no home...

haha, indeed my friend.

I was wondering recently, what if Brian Jacques had decided to bring an end to the Redwall series, what would've been the series' conclusion?

I've been thinking maybe Salamandastron was dormant and not extinct? Talk about ending the series with a bang!

Or maybe the abbey itself sank into the sink hole it was built on? (read Mossflower)

Or possibly, What if Redwall went the way of Loamhedge? A plague forcing the abbey dwellers out?

What do you guys think?

If Redwall did sink into the hole, where would all the Redwallers go?
To Salamandastron?

They might find a new home.

Maybe at first , but they wouldn't stay for a long time.

[Iamthatis]

I can't even think about that. So many ways to end Redwall hard to choose just one.

[The Skarzs]

Choose them al then. Armageddon.

Just thought it would be fun if there was a 'modern day' book where the Abbey is now merely ruins, or is in fact still pretty much intact but creaky and in need of maintenance, and the now-animals are learning the history of it through all the scrolls the abbey recorders wrote... And it gets used for a meeting place or inn/hotel, heritage attraction, to preserve the oldness of the building, while many other 'medieval' buildings had long since fallen. I say fun, but actually it would be rather saddening to think of the Abbey being disused for many years and so long since all the Redwall tales. Anyway, it was an interesting thought.

[The Skarzs]

Or known as an ancient historical site and a museum.

[MeadowR]

Yeah, basically it could be a number of things for a heritage attraction.

I like the idea of a museum... then they could actually set it up like it would have been (if it is no longer like what it was). The scrolls could give them the relevant information to get it like it was.

[Rabbit Mask Man]

I think it should come full circle with a decedent of Cluny being defeated.

[Wylder Treejumper]

I don't think any end would be appropriate. Redwall lives on forever in its readers.

[redwallbro]

I know how you feel, Redwall will always be with me even if it is destroyed.

Does'nt salamandastron erupt in mossflower

[The Skarzs]

No, it doesn't; the fires lit inside make it seem as if it is actually active.

Not sure if you're too new here, Urthstripe, but welcome to the forum if you are!
