Bladegirt, Fort

Appears In: Mariel of Redwall




This rock fortress is located on Terramort Isle and ruled by Gabool. It stands on the edge of tall rocks near a cove, is secured by huge wooden doors as well as large hills on three sides, and features a highwall as well as a courtyard. Inside is a massive banquet hall with high windows overlooking the ocean on one side and a great cloth covering the wall on the other side from floor to ceiling. This hall also contains the King's throne, which is made from rock and covered in the pelts of slain enemies. Further in the fortress are half-submerged prison cells, and Skrabblag's pit is located under a stairwell. During Gabool's rule the place is filled with corruption and betrayal, and it is home to many woodlander slaves. After the final battle, the burned fortress is gutted and abandoned.
