An early scene from the Redwall book Salamandastron. Mara the Badger runs into Klitch the Weasel in the dunes. There were two other characters in this scene, but I left them out because one, I was too lazy to draw them, and two, I thought the mental and verbal exchange between Mara and Klitch was more interesting.

I often wished Redwall wasn't quite so black and white with Species.

Yeah, me too. I'd heard of Redwall a LOOONG time ago but finally started reading it a few years ago, and that gradually became an irritant.

I love the idea. I found Klitch an interesting character, if lacking in the sort of "humanity" that was given the woodlanders.

It would seem to me that like any European abbey, Redwall is ignorant of the world outside its walls--thus, prejudices form from conflict, and not trade (it should be obvious that if vermin slavers exist, then there are vermin markets, vermin settlements, and vermin products). Perhaps, the species divide is black and white in the books because the Abbey is this way--Medieval texts suggest that Europeans saw everyone from the Armens to the Vikings as cruel, cowardly, and treacherous.

That's a good point, I never thought of that. Although I seem to remember sometimes the Redwallers showed their ignorance when they traveled abroad. But I never thought of the fact that they spend all their time in the abbey, and just maybe their own ignorance caused some of the fear and conflict.
