Death of Midnight?

[A_Feathered_Nocturn]

At the end of Fall 1152, Midnight is depicted as being exiled beyond the scent border amid a pack of hungry looking wolves. While his demise is only implied and never shown, is it possible he could return to the territories or story line in general?

Yep.

You can do what you want with your stories of the Mouse Guard. To wit, and stealing from pop culture…

@"An Example..."

The Acorn Gates is a secluded spot on the Scent Border, concealed from larger predators by the fallen trunk of a once proud oak tree. It was the site of furious battles between the mice and the weasels during the recent war.

Now the Gates are threatened once again. Prince Sar’feezah, a weasel warlord from the darkest patches of the Dark Heather, brings his army of weasels - and much worse - to the Gates. Only the patrol of Kenzie, Saxon, Lieam, and Sadie stand in their way. It is enough, for the hollow trunk of the oak does not permit the larger weasels to bring their superior forces to bear… the patrol can easily, if bloodily, defend the Gates long enough for reinforcements to arrive.

Alas! The scouts of Prince Sar’feezah throw the decrepit form of a captured mouse before him. It is the traitor Midnight, his body much broken from his time outside the Scent Border. In return for his life, Midnight whispers the secrets of the Mouse Guard into the Prince’s sly ear…

Oh no! Will Midnight’s treachery again see members of the Mouse Guard die? Will Lieam prove himself an able member of the patrol? Will the best solution really be found at the point of Saxon’s sword? Find out in the next exciting issue of Mouse Guard: 300!

"This! Is! MOUSE GUARD!"

That Mission probably has more bite if the Patrol encounter Midnight first and are given the chance to offer him forgiveness. If they do give him forgiveness, he repays them by betraying them anyway - he really is a bitter old bastard. If they refuse him succour and forgiveness, he flees into the night and betrays them - or you know, maybe the Patrol executes him, which would be pretty cool too.

I’m just making crap up to illustrate that there ain’t no canon, so go crazy

Cheers

In my campaign, the head of the rebels was the captain right under Gwendolyn… I bought Winter 1152 today… how close I was.

Once you start your game, let the situation flow naturally, and don’t worry about retconning to new volumes of the source, as That way lies madness.
