The Roof of Redwall Abbey is a region often inaccessible to most of its residents. It is marked by turrets, spires, and crenellations which can usually only be seen by birds, such as the Sparra colony. The roof features four birds carved in stone placed at the cardinal points. These statues indicate the direction in which the respective birds travel each season and were used in a riddle in the seasons after the Late Rose Summer Wars.
Bird Statue | Direction | Region |
---|---|---|
Hawk | North | Northlands |
Goose | West | Great Western Sea |
Owl | East | Mossflower Woods |
Crow | South | Southern Plateau |
The roof also features a weathervane on the south gable. On the north pointer, Rufe Brush attached the Sword of Martin, where Jess Squirrel and Matthias attempted to find it several generations later. The weather vane had been smithed by Ferdy and Coggs Stickle in a memorable event during the construction of the Abbey.
