Narnia

In Narnia, some animals can speak, mythical beasts abound, and magic is common. The heptalogy tells the story of Narnia as humans, usually children, enter the Narnian world from our own: Earth. According to the story told in The Magician's Nephew, Narnia was created by Aslan's singing. Witnesses to this were Digory Kirke, Polly Plummer, Andrew Ketterley, Frank the Coachman, and Strawberry the Horse.

Inhabitants of Narnia

Dwarves are native to Narnia. They are called children of the Earth by Aslan, as opposed to humans, who are called sons of Adam or daughters of Eve. Dwarves come in at least two varieties: black dwarves and red dwarves, distinguished by the colour of their hair. While many red dwarves are kind and loyal to Aslan, black dwarves seem to be more selfish and hostile. The dwarves in the books are always male, and live together in communities, although they are known to be related to humans. For example, in Prince Caspian, Dr. Cornelius is a half-dwarf. Dwarves, like fauns, satyrs, the river god and his daughters the naiads, and the tree people (deities of the forest), came into being when Aslan (in The Magician's Nephew) created Narnia by singing: "Awake, love, think, speak. Let there be walking trees. Let there be talking beasts. Let there be divine waters." Dwarves were presumably created from the earth, just as dryads were from trees and naiads from water. Dwarves also appear at the coronation of King Frank. In keeping with their status as children of the Earth, dwarves are skilled and prolific blacksmiths; others are miners and carpenters. In battle they are renowned as deadly archers. A dwarf can walk all day and all night without stopping.

Inhabitants of Narnia

Strawberry, Frank's horse, also entered Narnia from our world, and was not only chosen to be a talking animal, but was transformed into Winged, Narnia's first winged horse. Many of the animals from our world can also be found in Narnia. There are also talking versions of many of them. When Aslan breathed on the first pairs of animals, some not only gained thought and speech, but also changed size. The smallest animals (rodents, birds and small mammals) are larger than their non-speaking relatives, and the largest animals in our world are slightly smaller in Narnia. The talking beasts can be divided into three main categories: birds, mammals and reptiles. There are no talking fish, amphibians or insects. In Prince Caspian it is mentioned that at first there were no talking mice, but Aslan granted them speech as a reward for their kindness in gnawing the ropes that tied him to the stone table, shortly after he was sacrificed by the White Witch. In Narnian law and custom, talking animals are fully equal to human beings: to kill and eat them is to commit murder and cannibalism. On the other hand, killing and eating a non-talking animal is an acceptable act. Thus, for example, in Prince Caspian, three talking bears are among the prince's loyal followers, but later in the same book, a non-talking bear is killed and eaten, C.S. Lewis even giving a detailed description of how its meat was cooked.

Inhabitants of Narnia

Two witches appear as characters in the Narnia books: the White Witch (Jadis, Empress of Charn, also known as the White Lady), and the Lady in the Green Skirt (or the Green Lady). Character sketches appeared long after C.S. Lewis's death which seem to indicate that these two witches are the same person. But these notes are not attributed to Lewis (see Lady in the Green Skirt for details). Jadis is the last descendant of the royal house of Charn, although in Narnian tradition she is said to be descended from Adam's first wife, named Lilith, after Jewish tradition, which regards her as a mythological demon. According to the Beavers, Jadis has no human blood at all, although she has the appearance of a very tall woman. When Jadis first entered Narnia, when it was being created by Aslan, she ate a fruit that gave her immortality. She then fled north, where she spent nine hundred years gathering forces to invade and conquer Narnia; once she had succeeded, she subjected the country to one hundred years of winter. She was killed by Aslan at the First Battle of Beruna. The Green Lady transforms into a huge snake of the same color on two occasions, as chronicled in The Silver Chair. Once she killed Rilian's mother, she also tried to kill Rilian himself and his companions. Most of her other powers seem to be related to seduction and enslavement; she bewitches and enslaves Rilian and an army of underground dwarves, and nearly succeeds in bewitching Jill Pole, Eustace Scrubb, and Puddleglum, using magic dust and a musical instrument.

Inhabitants of Narnia

Other inhabitants of the world of Narnia are well-known mythological or folkloric beings, including centaurs, dragons, dryads, earthlings (a Narnian version of gnomes), fauns, giants, ghouls, griffins, witches, hamadryads, incubi, maenads, sea-people, minotaurs, monopods, naiads, ogres, winged horses, phoenixes, satyrs, sea serpents, sylvanians, star people, elves, unicorns, werewolves, etc. These are a loose mix of creatures from Greco-Roman and British sources.

General characteristics

The world of Narnia is a flat world in a geocentric universe. Its sky is a dome that mortal creatures cannot penetrate. Traveling east, characters in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader eventually reach a literal edge of the world, where the sky meets the sea. The stars of Narnia are bright humanoid beings. Their constellations are the result of a mystical dance in the sky, performed by the stars to herald the works and comings of Aslan, the creator of Narnia. The stars are also arranged to allow seers to predict certain future events. Constellations include the Ship, the Hammer and the Leopard. The sun of Narnia is a flaming disk that circles the world once a day. The sun has its own ecosystem, and is believed to be inhabited by large white birds, which appear in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Some of the vegetation on the sun is known to contain healing properties. For example, the extract of a fire flower found in the mountains can cure any wound or disease, and a fire berry growing in its valleys, when eaten by the fallen star Ramandu, works to reverse the effects of age. Narnia's moon is larger than Earth's moon. Passages in several of the books suggest that the Narnian plant may be living. In The Silver Chair, the protagonists find a land called Bism many miles beneath Narnia, where diamonds and other gems provide juice, crushed or squeezed. They find the idea incredible until a gnome explains that the gems found in Bism are real, not dead like those found in "surface" mines made by dwarves and other people living on the surface.

Multiverse

The world of Narnia is part of a multiverse of many worlds, including Earth and the world of Charn. These are connected by a meta-world or linking room known as the Wood Between the Worlds. This space is shaped like a dense forest with many pools of water. With the appropriate magic (or a device such as rings made of earth), each pool leads to a different world. The Wood Between the Worlds seems to affect the magic and strength of the White Witch, who becomes weak and sick when taken there. The book Narnia the Magician's Nephew in its second paragraph says: "In those days Sherlock Holmes still lived in Baker Street, and the Bastables were searching for treasure in Lewisham Road." This suggests that the End of the Earth in the Narnia stories, and the Sherlock Holmes stories, and the Treasure Seekers story, all happen in the same fictional universe.

Time

Visitors to Narnia from Earth generally find that a visit to Narnia lasts longer in Narnia (sometimes much longer) than the corresponding period of their absence from Earth. How much longer seems to be arbitrary. For example, in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Lucy's first visit to Narnia lasts hours and the four children's main adventure there lasts perhaps several decades, long enough for them to become adults and almost forget their childhood on Earth. Each time, they are gone from Earth for only a few seconds. Visiting Narnia always finds that more time has passed there than on Earth, but there does not seem to be a fixed rhythm: between The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian about a thousand years have passed in Narnia, but between that and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader only three years, and The Silver Chair several decades.

Creation of Narnia

In the first year of Narnia, the creation of Narnia was witnessed by six creatures: Jadis, Empress of Charn, Digory Kirke, Polly Plummer, Andrew Ketterley, Frank the Coachman, and their horse Strawberry. During a failed attempt by Digory to transfer Jadis from London in our world back to his own world of Charn, the group arrived in the darkness without making Aslan's name just before Narnia came into existence. Aslan began the creation soon after his arrival, and with his song he brought forth the stars, the sun, and eventually all the land forms, plants, and animals as well. When he had finished, Aslan selected certain animals from these to be talking animals, giving them, and all the other magical creatures, Narnia as their new home, to own and rule with wisdom and care. Aslan next appointed his first rulers, the Cabby and his wife, as King Frank I and Queen Helen (the Cabby's wife Nellie was summoned to Narnia by Aslan soon after), and instructed them to rule quietly over the talking beasts. Aware that the evil witch-queen Jadis had entered his new land, Aslan sent Digory to retrieve a magic apple from a garden in the Wild West beyond Narnia. When Digory returned, the apple was planted by the river, where it immediately grew into a tree which, as Aslan explained would protect Narnia from Jadis for many years to come. Aslan allowed Digory to take an apple from the tree again to bring it back to our world for his sick mother. After he had eaten it, Digory planted the core in his garden, where it grew into a great apple tree. Many years later, the tree was blown down in a storm and Digory (who was now a professor), had its wood made into the cupboard that figures in the title of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - for this cupboard became the entrance through which the Pevensies would discover Narnia.

Domain of the White Witch

During the Age of Conquest, Narnia remained at peace for hundreds of years after its creation, until Jadis, the White Queen, conquered the country in 898. She reigned as a tyrant until 900, using her magic wand to turn any landowner to stone. With her magic she covered the land in ice and snow, making it "always winter and never Christmas"; thus began Narnia's Winter Age. Despite claiming to be Queen of Narnia and Châtelaine of Cair Paravel, Jadis ruled from her own stronghold in the north, where her halls were filled with Narnians, and had been turned to stone. By this time, the humans of Narnia had either died out or been driven out (although some remained in Archenland and Calormen at the time). Jadis feared a prophecy that said; "when Adam's flesh and Adam's bone sit Cair Paravel upon the throne, the evil time will be over and done." Her spies were thus ever on the lookout for human intruders. One hundred years into the Endless Winter, Lucy Pevensie entered Narnia and befriended Tumnus the Faun; the girl and her siblings managed to reach Aslan before Jadis could kill them. In the Narnian year 1000, under Aslan's influence, the Witch's spells were broken and winter came to an end. Aslan restored the Narnians whom the Witch had turned to stone. Thus ended the Winter Age and began the Golden Age of Narnia.

The Golden Age

After the Witch's defeat in the year 1000, Aslan fulfilled the ancient Narnian prophecy and made the four Pevensie children - Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy - kings and queens of Narnia. Their prosperity ushered in Narnia's Golden Age. In the early years, the Pevensies defeated the remnants of the White Witch's army, facing down other countries that had feared Jadis, but they grew bolder after her death. The Pevensies drove back the giants of the north and in 1014 defeated an invading army from Calormen (as recounted in The Horse and His Boy). The kings and queens were always victorious, and for the fifteen years of their reign Narnia was a safe and happy land. In 1015, the Pevensies returned to Earth, ending the Golden Age. Little is known of the years that followed until the Telmarine invasion.

The Dark Ages

What happened between the disappearance of the Pevensies in 1015 and the Telmarine invasion in 1998 is unclear. What is indicated in the timeline is that Aravis and Cor had a son, named Ram the Great, who became King of Archenland in 1050, and Swanwhite II became Queen of Narnia in 1502.

The Telmarine Dominion

In the year 1998, Narnia was invaded by people from the west, the Telmarines, descendants of the land pirates, and so began the Telmarine Age of Narnia. Led by Caspian I, they left their western lands to escape a great famine and came to Narnia by crossing a pass in the mountains. After the Narnian defeat, the ancient Narnians hid in the forests, and humans became the dominant species. By the time of the birth of Caspian X (a direct descendant of Caspian I), the old days of Narnia were considered legendary and the Telmarine kings actively concealed the existence of the ancient Narnians. People began to fear the forest and the sea, and to forget that ancient creatures had once lived there.

Peter Pevensie

Peter is the eldest of the four Pevensie siblings and shares their adventures in Narnia. As the High King, Peter has authority over all the other kings and queens the country will ever have. Peter is known as Peter the Magnificent, Fear of Wolves. As the eldest brother, he tries to do his best to protect his younger siblings and behave like a responsible young adult. He is evacuated with his siblings during World War II due to the bombing of London, staying with the elderly and mysterious Professor Kirke until the end of the war. When Lucy tells her siblings about the country in the cupboard, Peter doesn't believe her. On the contrary, he worries about her mental health to the point of going to talk to Professor Kirke. When he and the other Pevensies enter the world of Narnia, he apologizes to Lucy for not believing her, and is angry with Edmund for lying about Narnia's existence. During the journey to meet Aslan, the children meet Father Christmas, who gives them gifts. Peter is given a sword, which he names Rhindon, and a shield bearing Aslan's symbol: the rampant red lion on a green meadow. Peter's first battle is against Maugrim, chief wolf of the White Witch's secret police, who is trying to kill Susan and Lucy. He kills him with his sword and is named "Sir Peter, Bane of Wolves; Knight of Narnia" by Aslan.

Peter Pevensie

Peter is also the general of Aslan's army. After the defeat of the White Witch (Jadis, self-proclaimed queen of Narnia) and her vile allies at the Battle of Beruna, he is crowned by Aslan as "King Peter the Magnificent, High King over all the kings of Narnia, Emperor of the Lone Islands and Lord of Cair Paravel, Knight of the most Noble Order of the Lion". Thus was fulfilled the ancient prophecy about two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve who would come to sit on the four thrones of Narnia at Cair Paravel, marking the end of the hundred years of winter and reign of the White Witch, and beginning the Golden Age. Peter's name may refer to the apostle Simon Peter, as they share common traits. A draft of the first book (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) begins by saying, "This book is about four children whose names were Ann, Martin, Rose and Peter. But it is more about Peter, the youngest." Peter is the only name that was retained into the final version of the work, but as the eldest of the siblings rather than the youngest.[2] On the other hand, Pevensie is a town on the south-east coast of England that is home to a medieval castle built on the ruins of a Roman fort. In Rudyard Kipling's Puck of Pook's Hill, at least one character refers to Pevensie as "the gateway to England", a function that the wardrobe in Lewis's work plays quite literally. The surname Pevensie does not appear in the series until The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the third book to be published.

Edmund Pevensie

Edmund was born in 1930 in Finchley, a district of Greater London, England. When he appears in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe he is 10 years old and in The Last Battle he is 19 years old. He is an excellent swordsman, and is also appreciated for his wise advice and fair decisions. He is known as King Edmund, the Just. This book explains that Edmund started out as a kind person, but then took a turn for the worse. He began acting out after attending a new school (although the 2005 film adaptation of the book explains that he is upset because his father was forced to serve in the war, and that they are sent away from home as a result). Edmund treats his sister Lucy cruelly when she tells of her visit to Narnia through the wardrobe. However, he is the second of the Pevensie siblings to visit Narnia; after following Lucy. Once there, he meets the White Witch and happily eats some Turkish delight that she grants him as a wish, which causes an addiction to the person who eats it. As a result, he ends up promising the Witch to return to planet Earth and then re-enter Narnia bringing his three siblings with him; unaware that the White Witch wanted to kill all four of them, and thus prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled.

Edmund Pevensie

Upon returning home with Lucy, he denies having been to Narnia, and claims that Lucy's story was not true. But later, he accidentally lets slip a remark to Peter that shows that he had indeed been to Narnia. Later, when the four Pevensie siblings go through the wardrobe and arrive in Narnia, after finding that Jadis's guard has taken Mr. Tumnus and being hosted by the beavers at the dam, Edmund escapes to the White Witch's castle, where he hopes to be made prince or even king of Narnia. However, his opinion of the Witch changes dramatically when he and she encounter a group of creatures enjoying a party provided by Father Christmas. When the creatures deny to the Witch that the benefactor has entered Narnian land, a clear sign of her waning power to turn animals to stone, it causes Edmund to protest. He now realizes his mistake in siding with evil, becoming a prisoner of the Witch. The Witch prepares to kill him, tying him to a tree and pointing a knife at him, but luckily for Edmund, a small army led by Aslan arrives, rescues Edmund and takes him to his camp, where he meets the army and his three brothers. Edmund is completely reformed after a long conversation with Aslan. The next day, the Witch reiterates that Edmund's life is hers by decree of Narnian laws formulated by herself. She and Aslan draw up an agreement, which says that Aslan must die in Edmund's place; but she is unaware of the magical nature of this contract that allows Aslan to return to life.

Edmund Pevensie

While Aslan and Edmund's sisters go to the White Witch's castle to free the stone prisoners, Edmund cements his reform by bringing himself and Peter and the army into battle, where he plays a pivotal role in combating the White Witch, realizing she has a more dangerous advantage; her wand. He is severely wounded in the attempt to destroy her, however is saved from death by the timely arrival of reinforcements led by Aslan (who defeats the Witch), and also by the intervention of his sister Lucy, who gives him a drop of the special potion given to her by Father Christmas. Eventually, a fully reformed Edmund Pevensie becomes King Edmund the Just, co-ruler of Narnia with Queen Lucy, Queen Susan, and High King Peter. Years later, Edmund returns to England with his brothers, where they all magically appear as children again.

Susan Pevensie

Susan was born in Finchley, a district of Greater London, England, in 1928, and is 12 years old when she appears in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. In The Last Battle she is already 21 years old. She is characterized as being a magnificent archer, the best in Narnia. She is mentioned in the book as being very beautiful, the most beautiful of the family. From the beginning, like her brothers Peter and Edmund, she does not believe that Lucy has found a world beyond the wardrobe. Once in Narnia, Susan receives a bow and arrows from Father Christmas along with a magic horn. When this is blown, help comes to wherever the person blowing the horn is. Susan displays excellent archery skills, but does not enter battles unless absolutely necessary. Together with her sister Lucy, she witnesses Aslan's death and resurrection at the Stone Table (after he is killed by the White Witch). After the battle, she is crowned by Aslan as "Queen Susan the Benevolent", sharing the tetrarchy with her brothers. The period of this reign is considered the "Golden Age of Narnia". In the book, Susan is the voice of logic and caution.

Lucy Pevensie

She was the first of the four siblings to go to Narnia, where she met a faun named Tumnus, who told her about Narnia and invited her to dinner at his house. Lucy thought she had been there for hours, but when she returned to her own world not even a second had passed. At first her brothers did not believe her story, and even Edmund made fun of her tale. She was the one who loved Aslan the most, and later became Queen Lucy the Brave. For her, being the youngest was not an inconvenience for her to keep control of the plot and what happens around her (due to her sparkling and direct personality). She is the sweetest of her siblings and ends up being the one who believes in Narnia the most. She hates all insects, but she loves the animals of Narnia. Lucy was born in Finchley, a borough of Greater London, England, in 1932, and is 8 years old when she appears in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. In The Last Battle she is 17 years old. Lucy's siblings (Peter, Susan and Edmund) do not believe her when she tells them about Narnia, but later they all find their way to it. In this book, Lucy is the first of the Pevensies to enter Narnia through a magic wardrobe in the professor's old house, and sees Narnia in its 100 years of winter, under the rule of Jadis, the White Witch, who has named herself Queen of Narnia. There Lucy meets a faun, named Tumnus, who tells her of the White Witch's orders to capture the first human who sets foot on Narnian land. Later, when Lucy returns to Narnia with her siblings, she meets the friendly talking beavers.

Lucy Pevensie

While traveling with her brothers and the beavers, she, like her brothers, receives gifts from Father Christmas. She receives two things: a flask with a potion that can heal almost any wound (and save someone from death), and a small dagger to defend herself. Later, she and her traveling companions arrive at Aslan's camp, as planned. After that, Aslan is accompanied by Susan and Lucy to his death. The girls witness his sacrifice in place of Edmund. While her brothers go off to war, Lucy and her sister Susan see Aslan come back to life, and accompany him to awaken the creatures that were turned into stone statues in the White Witch's castle. They are later reunited with their brothers at the end of the battle. At Cair Paravel, Lucy is crowned Queen Lucy the Valiant, marking the fulfillment of the ancient prophecy and the end of the White Witch's reign. The period in which the Pevensie siblings ruled Narnia is called the Golden Age. At the end of it, while the siblings are out on the traditional White Stag Hunt, they come across the lantern where Lucy and Tumnus had met years before. She stops, and her siblings look at each other and wonder, "What is this about?" After that, following their curious instincts, the siblings enter the thick forest located around the lantern, and are transported to the wardrobe from which they entered Narnia, appearing in our world, in which not a second had passed, being children as when they entered the wardrobe.

Lion

He is a talking lion, king of the beasts, and son of the Emperor Beyond the Seas. As well as being wise and compassionate, he is a magical authority (both temporal and spiritual); he is the mysterious and beloved guide to the children who visit him; he is the guardian and saviour of Narnia, and ultimately, he is the creator and destroyer of this magical world. Throughout the series, it is said that Aslan is not a tamed lion, but that he has great power and can be dangerous. According to C.S. Lewis himself, Aslan, which means lion in Turkish, is described as an alternative version of Christ. The British author first heard the name on a trip to the Ottoman Empire (now Turkey), where he was impressed by the Sultan's elite guards, also called Aslam because of their bravery and loyalty. Aslan makes his first appearance in the creation of Narnia. When Digory, Polly, Uncle Andrew, Frank, and their horse inadvertently enter a new world using magic rings (created by Uncle Andrew), they find themselves in a void. Aslan then appears, and by the force of his singing, begins to create the wonderful magical world of Narnia. This is how Aslan is described in this book: - "It was a lion. Huge, hairy and shiny, and it stood facing the rising sun. It sang with its mouth open and was about three hundred meters away." While all the characters immediately fear Aslan, Jadis expresses it as fear and hatred, unsuccessfully attacking Aslan with her iron rod before fleeing. Aslan calls all plants and animals to life. The power of his song is so great that even the iron rod Jadis attacked him with fell into fertile soil, turning into a lamp afterwards, and then beginning to sprout like fruit trees do. This rod thus became the Lantern Waste.

Lion

Aslan selects certain species from among the beasts that his song has brought forth, and gives them the power of speech and reason. He also instructs them to care for the animals. He names Frank as King of Narnia, and brings his wife Helen from Earth to be Queen of Narnia as well. Aslan explains that Jadis is a great threat to the Narnians, and selects Digory and Polly to go on a quest to acquire a magic fruit to protect the land. Aslan sees the horse, named Strawberry, and turns him into a winged horse. When the quest is complete, he crowns Frank and Helen, and advises Digory on how to care for his ailing mother. At the end of the novel, Digory, Polly, and Uncle Andrew return to the Wood between the Worlds, without the use of magic rings, and are warned that their Land is in danger of a fate similar to that of Charn, the world that Jadis (the White Witch) ruled and which she herself destroyed. As Narnia entered its 100th year of tyrannical rule by the White Witch (Jadis, who had condemned the land to endure "an endless winter but never Christmas"), all Narnians were eagerly awaiting the return of Aslan, the "Great Lion" and true King of Narnia. "Aslan is here," the Narnians repeated as a message of hope, but they did so in silence out of fear of the witch, who had already turned hundreds of Aslan's followers into stone (i.e. those who refused to join her troops). The Narnians await Aslan to put an end to the cruel White Witch's icy reign. The four children (Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy) take refuge in the house of Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, intending to be brought to Aslan. But before their meeting with the lion can be arranged, Edmund betrays them and joins the White Witch. The children find Aslan and together they form a great gathering of Narnians who are preparing for war.

Lion

Aslan sends a group of Narnians to attack the witch and her small entourage, during which they rescue Edmund. While they are away, Aslan makes Peter a knight of the Order of the Lion. After Aslan rescues Edmund, the White Witch reappears and demands Aslan's right to Edmund's blood as a sacrifice, citing unfathomable magic. Aslan offers the Witch to execute him instead of Edmund, and she accepts. At the Stone Table, the White Witch mocks Aslan, shaves him, ties him up, and finally stabs him with her knife. After the Witch leaves with her army to attack the Narnians, Lucy, Susan, and a number of mice (from whom the mouse hero Reepicheep is descended) cut the bonds from Aslan's body. But when dawn comes, they see that his body is gone, and then Aslan reveals that he is alive once more, thanks to a deeper knowledge of unfathomable magic that the Witch did not fully understand when she entered Narnia in the beginning. Aslan explains that "when a victim who has committed no treachery is put to death in place of a traitor, the table will be broken and death itself will be reversed."

Lion

Aslan goes to the Witch's Palace and blows into the faces of the petrified statues of Narnians, causing them to come back to life. He brings all the help to Peter, Edmund, and the army of Narnians who are fighting the White Witch's army. At the end of the battle, Aslan leaps upon the Witch and kills her. He then names Edmund a knight of the Order of the Lion upon hearing of the bravery and sacrifice he showed in battle. After the battle, Aslan at Cair Paravel Castle (which is located at the mouth of the Great River) crowns the four children as kings and queens of Narnia. These were their royal titles: Supreme Monarch Peter the Magnificent Queen Susan the Benevolent King Edmund the Just Queen Lucy the Brave And then, as the celebration continues peacefully, Aslan leaves.
