Kotir

Image:Kotir1.jpg

Kotir is an aging fortress, made from the red sandstone from the quarry, that lies near the River Moss in Mossflower Woods. Prior to the events of Mossflower, the fortress had been abandoned and was discovered and inhabited by Verdauga Greeneyes and his army. After Verdauga's death, Tsarmina became the ruler of the fortress.

Kotir was built upon a large lake which served as the prison of the the Gloomer. This subterranean lake was used to flood the fortress, and therefore destroy it, when the woodlanders dammed the River Moss.

In The Long Patrol, it was discovered that the south end of Redwall was built over part of Kotir's towers. When the wall collapsed, several Redwallers explored the ancient fortress and discovered a riddle and riches left by Verdauga long ago.
