These intelligent beasts then formed the first council of Narnia, which eventually spawned the races of talking beasts that populated Narnia for centuries afterwards.Īslan crowned Frank and his wife, Helen, two humans from Earth, the first King and Queen of Narnia. At the creation of Narnia, Aslan also witnessed the writing of the Deep Magic from the Dawn of Time by his father, the Emperor-beyond-the-Sea.Īslan chose two specimens, one male and one female, of each species of dumb beasts, upon which to endow the powers of thought and speech. Narnia was made in the image of Aslan’s Country, the “real” Narnia, although it was nothing more than a shadow compared to the latter’s glory. He brought everything –from the creatures, to the landscapes, to the sky and the stars – into being from an empty dark void, by singing and roaring. Be divine waters." ―Aslan at the creation of Narnia (Chapter 9) Īslan created the world of Narnia in the Earth year 1900. The only limits to Aslan’s abilities and autonomy in Narnia is the Deep Magic from the Dawn of Time, and The Deeper Magic from Before the Dawn of Time. His breath can heal those who have been petrified in stone, boost the morale of the faithless, and cause sleep for others, somewhat alike to Andrew Ketterley, Digory's uncle. He possesses a certain omnipresence, and he can manipulate, transport, heal, and manifest himself in different shapes. Aslan also periodically brings humans from Earth, both to help Narnia, and to teach those people important lessons.Īslan is a divine being, and is therefore extremely powerful and almost omnipotent, with the only being known to surpass his authority and power being his father, the Emperor-Beyond-The-Sea. He watches over Narnia constantly, although he does not choose to solve all of its problems for its inhabitants. Generally, he comes to Narnia to aid its leaders and heroes on important missions for external and personal peace, and to protect it from various evils. Aslan is very wise, and a powerful force for good, but as Narnians often say, “He’s not a tame lion.” He is dangerous, and an unconquerable enemy, but he is unquestionably good.Īslan is the one true king of Narnia all of its inhabitants have faith in him (except for dwarfs in The Last Battle), and obey him absolutely. He appears in different sizes to different people, although he himself never changes as people grow in wisdom and character, they can perceive more of his greatness. Beaver (Chapter 17) Īslan appears in Narnia as a large and terrifying, but equally magnificent and wise, lion with kind eyes. He doesn't like being tied down - and of course he has other countries to attend to. One day you'll see him and another you won't.
