Loamhedge, everyone wants to know more about it. Lukily Brian Jacques has revieled information indicating a book in the future about Loamhedge...significant information. This information can be attained at Redwall.og in the letter Mr. Jacques wrote to his webmaster. Unfortunately, the book would not release until 2003, at the earliest! However, there is limited information already existing about Loamhedge Abbey. There are two books that give a glimpse into Loamhedge Abbey, Mossflower and Mattimeo. In Mossflower, we get the most prolific information into the life of Loamhedge Abbey from the former abbess, Germaine. As you all know, Germaine later becomes one of the founders, and the first Abbess of Redwall Abbey. Abbess Germaine tells Bella of Brockhall about the tragedy that occurs in the abbey located to the far south of the future Redwall. Germaine speaks of a great illness or plague which kills many of the good abbeybeasts, even the skilled healers of the peaceful abbey could not cure it. Germaine and the surviving abbey members are forced to leave their beloved abbey behind. There is some speculation that this disease is the dreaded Dryditch Fever which later visits Redwall Abbey in Salamandastron, however there is little information to back up such claims. In Mattimeo, the kingdom of Malkariss the polecat lies in the remains of old Loamhedge Abbey. Matthias and friends persue Slagar to the harsh kingdom of the far south in search of stolen abbey children. The trip details the way to Loamhedge Abbey, with help from an old parchment riddle found back at Redwall, written by Abbess Germaine herself. The crew goes over high cliffs, passes through forests plagued by the mysterious Painted Ones, and crosses over a deep ravine, to make to the meager remains of old Loamhedge. All that remains is a network of below ground cellars, as the rest crumbled in what was apparently a massive earthquake (the same one that created the cliffs and ravine.) All we really know of Loamhedge Abbey are these small amounts of information provided sparsely in two Redwall books. The only information we can really grasp from these books is the location of Loamhedge, relative to Redwall and how a terrible disease led to the eventual end of the abbey society. We will only know more when or if Loamhedge becomes its own installment in the Redwall series.
