![]() ![]() For two generations immediately after Matthias the warrior spirit was passed down by blood."Matthias is Martin, Martin is Matthias" and similar statements seem to indicate a stronger presence in Matthias than simple the others that he guided.Matthias is Martin's only successor to be prophesied from the walls of Redwall itself.Two of the pre-Matthias appearances involved placing the sword in its foretold hiding place so that Matthias could find it further down the road. ![]() Matthias marked the end of an indeterminately long age of peace (we have no idea how many generations took place between Salamandastron and Redwall). Martin appears to many characters in dreams and chooses one in almost every generation after Matthias, but before Matthias his involvement is more rare.Although it's definitely the case that this is one of the many inconsistencies between the first book and the rest of the series, but a possible in-universe explanation is that Matthias had a stronger connection to Martin than anyone else his spirit called to be a warrior. ![]()
