Talk:Urthclaw

Eulalia!

Categorically in that sense? No. But here's what we know: Urthclaw lived in the Southwest Lands, and had been dead for a long time. Given that he was the grandfather of Urthstripe, in his prime that puts him approximately at the age of Rawnblade. Impossible for him to have ruled. -- LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg ^Talk! 17:44, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

Loambudd said that Urthclaw "had been dead many seasons" when she came to live with Urthound (HB, p. 296), and that this took place "many and many a long season" before the main plot of the book (HB, p. 7). Vale succeeded Saxtus, who was still alive during Brother Hollyberry's Dibbunhood (p. 19). This means that Rawnblade was either killed in a post-Terramort battle or in the downhill section of his life at the time of Mariel of Redwall. However it was, the prologue of Salamandastron most likely took place either at the same time as or before Mariel. Therefore, Urthclaw could easily have been Rawnblade's immediate predecessor. The book never says that Urthclaw lived in the Southwest, only that Urthound took Loambudd in when Ferahgo became a threat. 173.233.38.222 19:13, February 27, 2011 (UTC)

He was mentioned in the Long Patrol, along with the other badgers in Russano's dream.--Alderjack the Treescamp (talk) 03:49, June 16, 2015 (UTC)

Cite the chapter and page. -- LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg ^Talk! 04:24, June 16, 2015 (UTC)

Ok. Chapter 51, page 292: "...There were badgers, too, great fierce-eyed creatures with names like Old Lord Brocktree, Boar the Fighter, Urthclaw, Urthwyte, Rawnblade, and many more".

Thank you. Next time, please wait for my response before re-editing an article we are discussing on a talk page. -- LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg ^Talk! 22:33, June 16, 2015 (UTC)
