<br />
'''Brockhall''', later known as '''Althier''', was the ancestral home of the [[Redwall Family Trees#Brock|Brock badger family]]. Located beneath a large old oak tree in northeastern [[Mossflower Woods]], it was used as a meeting place and refuge for the [[Council of Resistance in Mossflower]] and later abandoned after the construction of [[Redwall Abbey]] was completed. Brockhall was most likely named for or by [[Lady Sable Brock]], the earliest known member of the Brock family line.<br />
<br />
It included small sitting rooms, an infirmary, a nursery, a study, a master bedroom, dormitories, a kitchen, a larder, storerooms, and a large main hall. <br />
<br />
Many seasons later, Brockhall became a nest for the adders [[Zassaliss]], [[Sesstra]], [[Harssacss]], and [[Berussca]]. While they resided there, [[King Sarengo]] found an old map detailing the location of Brockhall and rediscovered it. The tree residence was lost again for a short time after Sarengo and Berussca were killed, then rediscovered a second time, accidentally, by the Redwall [[Dibbun]]s [[Bikkle]] and [[Ruggum]]. After the remaining adders were slain, Brockhall was explored for anything of historical value to add to the Abbey archives, then once more abandoned and forgotten.<br />
<br />
===Althier===<br />
The Sable Quean, [[Vilaya]], and her [[Ravagers]] commandeered Brockhall and called the place Althier, an anagram for "The Lair." Only a few trusted guards, jailers [[Thwip]] and [[Binta]], [[Zwilt the Shade]], and Vilaya's loyal counselor [[Dirva]] ever knew its location. Vilaya kept kidnapped [[Ravagers#Kidnapped_Babes|young ones]] there in a dark old cave with mossy ledges for sleeping. The Redwallers again rediscovered the former Brockhall when [[Axtel Sturnclaw]] accidentally dug into it during one of his travels. By this time, water erosion had caused a large cave and lake system to open up. Connected to the main caves of what had once been Brockhall, a massive blind eel took up residence. The young ones used this cave system to escape. <br />
<br />
After the events of ''[[The Sable Quean]]'', Althier was once more deserted.<br />
