Brockhall

Brockhall

Brockhall was the ancestral home of the Brock badger family, a large old tree located in northeastern Mossflower Woods. It was used as a meeting place and refuge for the Corim and later abandoned after the construction of Redwall Abbey was complete.

Many seasons later, it became a nest for the adders Zassaliss, Sesstra, Harssacss, and Berussca. While they resided there, King Sarengo found an old map detailing the location of Brockhall and rediscovered it. The tree residence was lost again for a short time after Sarengo and Berussca were killed, then rediscovered a second time, accidentally, by the Redwall Dibbuns Bikkle and Ruggum. After the remaining adders were slain, Brockhall was explored for anything of historical value to add to the Abbey archives, then once more abandoned and forgotten.

It included small sitting rooms, an infirmary, a nursery, a study, a master bedroom, dormitories, a kitchen, a larder, storerooms, and a large main hall. Brockhall was most likely named for or by Lady Sable Brock, the earliest known member of the Brock family line.

Althier[]

The Sable Quean Vilaya and her Ravagers commandeered Brockhall and called the place Althier, an anagram for "The Lair." Only a few trusted guards, jailers Thwip and Binta, Zwilt the Shade, and Vilaya's loyal counselor Dirva ever knew its location. Vilaya kept kidnapped young ones there in a dark old cave with mossy ledges for sleeping. The Redwallers again rediscovered the former Brockhall when Axtel Sturnclaw accidentally dug into it during one of his travels. By this time, water erosion had caused a large cave and lake system to open up. Connected to the main caves of what had once been Brockhall, a massive blind eel took up residence. The young ones used this cave system to escape.

After the events of The Sable Quean, Althier was once more deserted.
