'" I'm going to expand a bit on mine here. The names of two locations on the map: "Fairy Ring" and "Globetrotter's Gate" seem a bit out of place - Redwall doesn't have fairies, and the word "globe" is suggestive that the characters are on a planet of some sort.

Fairy rings have little to do with actual fairies. We have fairy rings in real life. Mushroom spores will sometimes grow in small circles, such as the one you saw in game. People back in the day called these fungus circles "Fairy Rings" because it was as if a bunch of little fairies made chairs out of them for a tea party or something. The game devs are not actually referring to real fairies.

Globetrotter: A person who travels widely.

Now, if you want to bring this up scientifically, saying "How could redwallers even know the planet is a sphere/globe?" I would tell you that this wouldn't be all that bad or wrong. The ancient Greeks theorized that the earth was round sometime in the 6th century BC. Using the world Globetrotter is perfectly fine I would say. Hell, you can tell that the horizon actually curves if you're high enough, but I digress.

I would place Redwall in the "Age of Sail" more or less.
