[INDENT][sub][sup][h3][COLOR=SLATEGRAY][b]S E T T I N G:[/b][/COLOR][/h3][/sup][/sub][/INDENT][hr][INDENT][INDENT]Our tale will begin during the Autumn of the Long Harvest when Redwall Abbey is visited by the Travelling Thistledown Troupe. The Mossflower Country will be the primary setting for events in our story, with Redwall Abbey obviously appearing heavily in the beginning and end of the game and any time in between if we decide to run any sort of 'B' plot featuring additional Abbey Dwellers. For this game, we'll primarily be referencing from [url=https://i.redd.it/o4z5hekj9su51.jpg]this map[/url], which is heavily based upon the [url=https://redwall.fandom.com/wiki/Redwall_Map]official map from the Redwall Map & Riddler[/url]. Unfortunately, Jacques has a number of minor inconsistencies from book to book both in geography and scale of the characters (ie in the original Redwall, horses, manmade structures and the size of the cat are all more in line with realistic proportions versus as the series went on and developed and a lot of these elements are dropped leading to wolverine being roughly the size of a badger). Our vermin horde, however, will be of my own creation is going to be coming from the East, beyond the Bell and Badger Rocks and even beyond the Southern Plateau. Coming from the distant land of Yurazea, the Prince and his army, will be shown primarily through GM posts as advancing steadily and the obstacles they have to overcome until such a point that they've made it to Mossflower Woods.[/INDENT] [COLOR=LIGHTGRAY][B][SUB] M O S S F L O W E R W O O D S:[/SUB][/B][/COLOR] [color=gainsboro][sup][sub]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sub][/sup][/color][INDENT][img]https://i.redd.it/o4z5hekj9su51.jpg[/img] Mossflower Woods is the large forested woodland area on the River Moss, south of the Northlands and north of Southsward. The central community in this area is Redwall Abbey. Formerly, Brockhall, St. Ninian's, and Kotir were the primary residential structures, but all three have since been destroyed or abandoned. Mossflower Woods is populated by many creatures both good and bad, most of whom are nomadic. The family of Janglur Swifteye was one such example before they came to Redwall, as well as the tribes of Juska. The forest was also home to the farm and family of Gingivere Greeneyes for many seasons. Mossflower is divided in two by the River Moss, which can be crossed by a ford. Since the death of Argulor, there has been relatively little danger from birds-of-prey. Most Mossflower birds have been friendly to travelers, though there have been a few harrowing incidents. While Mossflower is not a very dangerous area aside from marauding vermin, it does have a few natural perils. There is swampland, which has caused the death or near-death of careless vermin. To the far west of Mossflower is the mountain Salamandastron and the ocean. A long path or road traverses the Mossflower countryside. The northern half is referred to as the North Path, while the southern half is described as the South Path. Prior to the construction of Redwall Abbey thousands of seasons ago, male badgers from the Brock family line ruled the peaceful woodlanders. The first known leader was Lord Brocktree, who was succeeded by Boar the Fighter, who in turn was succeeded by Barkstripe. This leadership was challenged by Verdauga Greeneyes and his family, who entered the region from the north. The Greeneyes began a campaign of oppression against the woodlanders, eventually leading to an all-out war. With fresh leadership from Martin the Warrior, the Greeneyes were defeated, and Redwall Abbey was built in the seasons thereafter. As the largest building in Mossflower Woods, Redwall Abbey stands as a symbol of peace for all, however unsavoury characters often attempt to breach its fortifications and take it for themselves.[/INDENT] [COLOR=LIGHTGRAY][B][SUB] R E D W A L L A B B E Y:[/SUB][/B][/COLOR] [color=gainsboro][sup][sub]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sub][/sup][/color][INDENT][img]https://i.imgur.com/v4hoamh.jpg[/img] [COLOR=LIGHTGRAY][B][SUB] B R I E F H I S T O R Y:[/SUB][/B][/COLOR] [color=gainsboro][sup][sub]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sub][/sup][/color][INDENT] Following the destruction and flooding of Kotir, an ancient castle in Mossflower ruled for seasons by the Greeneyes family, blueprints of the Abbey complex designed by Germaine became reality with Martin's assistance. The Abbey was built out of red sandstone from a neighbouring quarry by woodlanders of Mossflower and survivors of the Loamhedge Abbey plague. Construction took more than 20 seasons. A tapestry was woven in the Great Hall and dedicated to Martin the Warrior. After the deaths of Germaine and Martin, both mice were entombed beneath the Abbey. While it is ordained to be a peaceful location, many times a warrior is called upon by the residents to combat a threat against this peace. Redwallers traditionally name the Seasons after some large occurrence or event. Young citizens of the Abbey are called Dibbuns. The unwritten rule of Redwall Abbey is that "Redwall mice can go anywhere, through any territory, and pass unharmed."[/INDENT] [COLOR=LIGHTGRAY][B][SUB] A B B E Y C H A R T E R:[/SUB][/B][/COLOR] [color=gainsboro][sup][sub]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sub][/sup][/color][CENTER][I][SUP][COLOR=SLATEGRAY][COLOR=SILVER][b]I[/b][/COLOR] To be brothers and sisters of peace and goodwill while living together under the protection of Redwall Abbey.

Most things are common sense and common courtesy. Don't be a jerk, get along with others, accept when you get called out and fix things, roll with it, keep IC and OOC separate, and have fun.
