The Empire

[Captain Tammo]

I did some research and Brian based them off the Empire from Star Wars.

Thought this was pretty neat! What're some similarities (its been a very long time since I've read Mossflower)?

Please read all the replies to this topic first.   Mossflower is hardly based on Star Wars.

This is so interesting! But let's all get this straight first: Verdauga was not evil. Verdauga was AWESOME.   Tsarmina was the one who was evil. Careful what you say about Verdauga, HE'S MY FAVORITE WILDCAT OF ALL TIME, IN THE REDWALL SERIES.

Verdauga Greeneyes was the one that imprisoned the Woodlanders.

He probably "imprisoned the woodlanders" as you say because here's an example of what could have happened:
Stoat 1 and Weasel 3, random soldiers of Verdauga, are bothering a certain ottermaid. The father gets mad and start a fight with Stoat 1 and Weasel 3. Stoat 1 and Weasel 3 on the other hand, are extremely mean, so they burn their farm because of it. The otter family blames it on Verdauga because they were Verdauga's soldiers, even though Verdauga really had nothing to do with it. Verdauga tried to convince them that it wasn't his fault that the farm was burned. They don't believe him, so this starts a small revolution, and what would anyone else do if crazy people (even with good intentions) were trying to assassinate you?

[Redwaller]

Yes, but what I mean is that he came to Mossflower, built a Stronghold, and used the Woodlanders as slaves.

[Romsca]

Where did it say that he used them as slaves? They could have just been paid servants or something anyway

That's an interesting theory, however redwall doesn't have very many gray characters. Good animals are good, bad animals are bad. I believe Verdauga was bad, like Ungatt was

[Romsca]

I think that Ungatt was way more evil than Verdauga, but that's just my opinion. It seems that in most wildcat families in Redwall that are mentioned, there's two kids; one's nicer and one's evil.

Lol, hense the profile pic.

[Leatho Shellhound]

Well Ungatt's brother was also bad, right? I am with you though that Verdauga was one of the better wildcats in the Redwall series. 

[Mattio]

I'm sorta with that  because he still had a horde of vermin and he stole from woodlanders. (3 MORE POSTS)

Maybe he got softer when he got older.

[Mattio]
