I have a few ideas for an extended universe headcanon, with three more badger strongholds, so that there is a stronghold for each element. Would anyone like to be a part of forming baselines for this extended canon?
My ideas so far:
Urthenhall: In the Northern Tundra, element Earth. Oldest stronghold, founded by Lady Terrfor Stoneblade. Guarded by the Soilcrew, the legions of moles pledged to the service of Urthenhall Badgers. An underground stronghold, a massive maze of caves and tunnels.
The Sky Palace: In the Western Mountains, element Air. Second oldest stronghold, founded by Lady Bluen Cloudwhisper. Guarded by the numerous tribes and clans of birds that live in the area. Captain of the Guard is called Windking. Atop a mountain, with tall trees surrounding it, used as lookouts.
Maelstrom:In the Eastern Estuary, element Water. Youngest stronghold, founded by Bear the Wanderer. Guarded by the Estuary Guard, made up of two tribes of otters: the Riverbulls of Holt Stronghorn, and the Waterlions of Holt Waveroar. On an island in the center of the estuary. (There's a waterfall somewhere. Or somewhere else in Bear's journey. I'm not entirely sure.)
Maelstrom: Prior to the events of "Maelstrom" (I have a whole series of stories featuring my extended canon; this one is about the founding of the stronghold), there was an otter holt at the Eastern Estuary, Holt Maelstrom, founded by Lilyain Springsea and Omnia Mayriver, a sea otter and a river otter, respectively. It was an advantageous location, and the vermin who attack in "Maelstrom" are attacking for that reason. Taurian Bullfang, a middle-aged otter, was a sort of matriarch in the holt, being one of the oldest otters who still resided there. In the attack, her siblings and family were killed, and she was one of the few who escaped. She grew bitter and tough, swearing vengeance for the death of her kin. She met Bear, who had recently left their home in Urthenhall, seeking adventure. She takes Bear in, tells them her story, and she and Bear set out to gather an army to take back the estuary. Along the way, they meet Stronghorn and Waveroar, a pair of lone otters, not more than Bear's age. Taurian adopts them both, and they become the first of the Riverbull and Waterlion lines. When they have gathered an army, they march on the estuary, and take back Maelstrom. Bear decides to build a base there, and the otters set themselves up as the guards of the place. Taurian still acts as a matriarch, often referred to as the Mother of the Maelstrom.
In the seasons before "Daughter of the Tempest" (a book following Taurian Riverbull's journey to Maelstrom) begins, Hornblende attacks the estuary while Lord Tempesteyes is ill, and gains control of the fortress. (Illyria and Oceana remain in the fortress.)
