(this Is Not What Its Called) - Tumblr Posts

one of the coolest aspects in Redwall that didn't get expanded upon (mainly because it wasn't relevant) is knowing this may not be an alternative world, but may be our world millenia in the future because of a vague mention of humans, not only in book one, but in book like 16 or 17 (Whichever one High Rhulain is), long after the Early Installment Weirdness wore off.

The bad guy literally says that his ancestors (wildcats) freed his wife's ancestors (domestic cats) from being domestic by some entity that had domesticated them.

Love the idea that wildcats were the first beings to gain sentience, take over the world and enslave other beings, and then like 60000 years later, the other species had grown to also be sentient with humanlike intelligence.
