I read "The Willows" by Algernon Blackwood, and I feel like you could read most of it as "Telmarines' first experience in Narnia"

[readingtoinfinity]

Currently rereading The Horse and His Boy for a project, and I can't help but be fascinated by some of the world-building for Calormen, Telmar, Archenland and Narnia. Because Narnia is not the planet, it's a country on the unnamed world. Which means Aslan is heavily invested in the geopolitical state of one part of his world, not the world itself.

What does it mean to not be God's favorite? Archenland is friendly to Narnia and shown as morally upright, and (seemingly as a consequence) is well-off and thriving, but Telmar and Calormen both tried to conquer Narnia and were rebuffed, and they've been left in the dust. Both have their societal problems, for sure, but I can't help but wonder if they thought it terribly unfair that Aslan was the god of Narnia, and not of them, too.

I also can't help but wonder if Telmar and Calormen ever fought. Telmar conquered Narnia in the 13 centuries after the golden age; did the desert or the Calormenes stop them?

Headcanon

This is my headcanon about why Aslan had “left” Narnia during the Telmarine Age. After the Pevensies suddenly disappeared, Narnia was left without rulers. The disappeared Kings and Queens couldn’t be found so the Narnians finally decided to choose a King by themselves. Hatred and envy rised among them, what’s more, some murdered their compatriots as well, others killed their talking animal “enemies” for meal. All these were offenses against Aslan with two points:

only Aslan can appoint the new King for Narnia if the previous ruler has no heir,

murder others and eat talking animals were serious sins.

They broke the Laws, so Aslan decided to punish his people by leaving them but promised if they return to Him, He will return to them as well. This was the beginning of the Dark Age followed by the Telmarine Age. When Aslan felt that his people repented, fulfilling his promise he went to save them from Telmarine’s repression. Then, he made a covenant with Narnia (and King Caspian X) that he would not leave them without a king or queen ever. Aslan also knew that the Green Witch would rise one day and she would kidnap Prince Rilian. But Aslan had already made the plan before anything happened to bring Rilian back: he had chosen Eustace for this task to fulfill, he invited him to Narnia to work on him, so the boy became a dragon as it was not without purpose. Then, he invited him again along with Jill Pole to save Rilian, for the covenant not to be broken, and not let the past happen again.

Aslan takes care of Narnia -- like a father.

It is a concept I adore.

I don’t own anything—I found all images online. Sorry for the grainy/blurry quality; I had to transfer from my computer to my phone and it ruined the crispness.
