I have always wondered what was over the seas in the Redwall books. It said at the end of the Bellmaker Mariel, Dandin, and a few others went over the seas with a ship. Also, I might be wrong, but I think it said that Cluny was from over the seas.
It seems to have a lot of mystery around it.

-Sometime later, the second mate was unexpectedly rescued by the subplot, which had been trailing a bit behind the boat (and the plot). The whole story moved along.

I suspect you come to more land then.  That's what is there or the other side of the land that Redwall sits on.  We have the islands that exist because stories have built up around them.  Mr. Jacques certainly had endless possibilities.

Did Sarengo and his decendants live in the land over the seas?  Or was that the northlands?

I don't recall if Sarengo's family's origins were mentioned... must look it up.

I think anything considered "land over the seas" is just a general definition of continued adventure/"mysterious place far away." If that makes sense. There may not be "a" land such as North America, but there is land, and it is populated, and spits out creatures like Cluny, and must be explored.

Another story somebody must write? Arrh..
Redwall is always open, its tables laden, to you and any of good heart.

It is mysterious. I think Brian should've had more stories away from the abbey, it'd make things much less of a cliche

From its descriptions and the map, Riftgard seems like it's in the northlands, however all the characters did use ships to go to and from.

Yeah, Abbey, Northlands, and Southern Islands are visited a lot. I think of them alsomt like Brit. colonies, India, Australia, (Australia=Sampetra? ;))

I wish BJ hadnt kept visiting the same places over and over. On this board there are many topics about geographical mystery. It's tough when you realize there will be no more books to answer our questions :(

Muse

But like I said somewhere else, its wonderful how large his world is.  would hate visiting the sameplace over and over, but love exploring
