@Heather: Thanks, I’m glad you enjoy this. I agree, Southsward had always been an intriguing location to me, and I wished we could revisit the country in future Redwall books. That’s one of the reasons as to why the story takes place there. I’m glad that Artus and Targan made a likable couple of partners in crime – though their couple is about to become a trio. ;)

@Riverrune: Hello, Riverrune, and welcome to the Wiki! Hope you’ll love it there! I’ve seen you posting your own story, and while I didn’t have a chance to read it yet, I will comment on it once I do. Ah, thank you very much! I’m pretty attached to the otter family from the prologue, so it’s pleasing to hear I managed to convey that atmosphere. Well, the first chapter was introductory in a large part, so there will be even more action further on. I’m glad that you like the story and the characters even if there is a lot of info to take in, and I’ll definitely update you in the future.

@Sayna: Ah, thanks! It’s good to hear that I keep up the mark, so to say. Indeed, I also wished that we could revisit Southsward again, as it seemed to be a rather interesting location that wasn’t explored very well. In fact, partly it was this lack of information that allowed me to reassert several of my own rules there. ;) Yes, I can promise that the meaning of Bekka’s circlet will be revealed eventually, though it may take more time to get to this point. I’m glad that you liked the characters and their relationship with each other, and while I can say that the backstory of Skylily and other northerners was supposed to just set the scene in large part, I can still say that we are going to see more of the northerners and get to know them better.
