Long ago, before the founding of Redwall, Mossflower experienced a dry series of seasons. The land wilted, and the fields sat fallow. A pair of brothers from the Starthistle clan set out on the rivers, seeking a new place for their families crop. After a long search, their journey finally brought them to what is now known as Lilygrove bay. The confluence of rivers had fertilized the land with silt and homed fish previously unknown to woodlanders. Word of the lush land spread quickly, and soon a thriving community flourished along the whole valley. Creatures of every kind called this place home: Badger smiths and Mole folk from the west, Squirrel carpenters and Otter tribes from the north. Even ferrets and stoats tended land along the bay. Lilygrove was at its peak when Martin the Warrior and Abbess Germaine set about building Redwall Abbey, as the village was a crucial supplier of food, lumber, and skilled craftsmen.
