1. The Western Plains, maybe? 2. The hordes and pirates themselves, and, of course, the Badger Lords. And maybe people in the Northlands, because we know almost nothing about them. 3. People like Blaggut. 4. The treasure probably comes from places we know nothing about. 5. They get it from the wild. 6. They trade if they need to. 7. Taverns, and because they're greedy (like Curse of the Black Pearl, but without the curse or Black Pearl). 8. The Redwallers must make sure that the fish aren't hunted to death. 9. Northlands, Land of Ice and Snow, other places not known about. 10. Taverns. 11. They didn't like each other, so... 12. Your idea seems good. 13. Maybe the stone was mined from the tunnels. 13a. Perhaps there is a quarry, but it's never mentioned. 13c. Maybe the stone was taken from someplace else, Marlfoxes can be pretty bossy... 13f. A quarry that was sunk by the same earthquake as the Abbey. 14. They're just not mentioned. 16. Because they probably live in an unknown area, like ye old Northlands. 17. Maybe it was visiting. 18. Don't know... 18a. Well, there's a lot of half-references to humans in the book Redwall, but they never appear anywhere else. And most of these issues were probably either ignored or forgotten about. -The ARBL (who's mostly guessing)
