Homebrew Badger Species Details
Solitary and mighty, Badgers are naturally gifted leaders. As badgers grow from dibbuns, most experience a growing wanderlust that inspires them to leave their homes and explore the world in search of a "call to service". They are known all across the Mossflower woods as formidable adversaries as well as loyal guardians the most famous of which make their presence known as rulers of the seaside fortress, Salamandastron. It has also been chronicled that some have made their home within Redwall Abbey when their adventuring days come to an end, as protectors and sources of guidance.
