Narnia is a fictional realm and the primary setting for the Chronicles of Narnia series.
Overview[]
The nation of Narnia, often and officially the Kingdom of Narnia, was guarded over by Aslan, the Great Lion, and was filled with humans, talking animals and other mythical creatures. Narnia was a land of rolling hills rising into low mountains to the south, and was predominantly forested, except for marshlands in the north.
The country was bordered on the east by the Merpeople Nation, on the west by a grand mountain range, followed by the Western Wild, on the north by the barren land of Ettinsmoor, and on the south by a continental divide and the Kingdom of Archenland.
The economic heart of the country was the flourishing Great River of Narnia, and all the regions that fed from it. The River entered Narnian lands from the northwest on an east-southeasterly course to the Eastern Ocean.
Officially, the seat of government was the castle Cair Paravel, at the mouth of the Great River, however, under other circumstances, such as (the Age of Winterand the Telmarine Age), separate locations were used as the capital centres of Narnian control.
Inhabitants[]
There were several notable races that inhabited Narnia and the surrounding countries. These included Humans, Dwarfs, all manner of Talking Beasts, and even Winged Horses, Centaurs, Fauns, Satyrs and Giants, as well as Marsh-wiggles.
Narnians do not have an organised religion (compared to the Calormenes worship of Tash), however, most Narnians seem to have personal faith in Aslan.
Time[]
Visitors to Narnia observed that the passage of time while they were away was unpredictable. The tendency was for more time to pass in Narnia than at home, although this was not universally true. For instance, the Pevensies stayed in Narnia for more than a decade, but found upon their return that mere seconds had passed on Earth.
By contrast, during Narnia's last days, Tirian spoke to the Pevensies, Digory, Polly, Jill, and Eustace while they were on Earth; Jill and Eustace appeared in Narnia after a matter of minutes to Tirian, but what was over a week to them on Earth.
