Lilac-smelling Green Cloths

Appear In: The Taggerung




These green homespun cloths are hidden around Redwall by Cregga and Hoarg so that Mhera can find them and realize her destiny to become Abbess. They smell of lilacs and have words written on them, such as KITTAGALL. These are actually acronyms for a phrase like "Kindness Is The Thing A Good Abbey Leader Learns". The final cloth has the acronym ICMATOTROA ("I Chose Mhera As The Ottermaid To Rule Our Abbey").
