I like this. Well-written and thought out. Not entirely sure that I agree with everything here, but just I've just read the first part so far and am looking for some confirmation. @Ghost When you say periods such as "Redwall-Outcast" and sub-eras such as "Redwall-Mattimeo", are you basing these periods off the order in which these books were written or is it a more genealogical factor? I can't decide which because there are things you say that seem to infer both. You say creatures like crabs were eliminated after the Redwall-Mattimeo sub-era, where as there is a notable crab scene in Mariel of Redwall. I definitely love the idea of classifying the Redwall series into periods and the like, though I think it would take a ton of research, reading, clarification, and discussion within the community to make a solid base. Cool beans on having the idea and it already looks neat.
