Seven Kings and Queens stood before him, all with crowns on their heads and all in glittering clothes, but the Kings wore fine mail as well and had their swords drawn in their hands.

On why humans in Narnia are summoned when there is trouble

The title is too random, sorry

I was reading a fanfic and in the course of it I remembered something that made me think about the moment when I read "the last battle". There's a part where Tirian tells Jill and Eustace that the friends of Narnia are only called upon when the country is in terrible danger and this is where my doubt comes in, if they are supposed to be called only in emergencies. Why didn't Aslan summon the ancient monarchs when the Telmarines invaded Narnia? Why wait 1300 years to bring them back and return with them?

It is understandable that some narnians would begin to doubt Aslan's existence if he left them stranded for 1,300 years at the hands of telmarinos.

It's not entirely crazy to me now that in the movie Peter himself will doubt Aslan ever came back.

You will say, 'Caspian's birth was expected'. was it so important that Caspian was the savior? I mean, among so many telmarines, at least a few in those 1300 years must have had a noble heart.

I don't know if it was a Lewis thing or what, but I still have a doubt

‘rashness of the king’ listen. if i was there. if i was present for the dryad dying right in the middle of asking for help. if i had seen a raft made of trees from a sacred forest. if i had seen a narnian horse being beaten with a whip.

i would simply have gone apeshit.

so. maybe tirian and jewel were right actually.

“So,” said Peter, “night falls on Narnia. What, Lucy! You're not crying? With Aslan ahead, and all of us here?”

“Don't try to stop me, Peter,” said Lucy, “I am sure Aslan would not. I am sure it is not wrong to mourn for Narnia. Think of all that lies dead and frozen behind that door.”

“Yes and I did hope,” said Jill, “that it might go on for ever. I knew our world couldn't. I did think Narnia might.”

“I saw it begin,” said the Lord Digory. “I did not think I would live to see it die.”

“Sirs,” said Tirian. “The ladies do well to weep. See, I do so myself. I have seen my mother's death. What world but Narnia have I ever known? It were not virtue, but great discourtesy, if we did not mourn.”

Tirian looked and saw the queerest and most ridiculous thing you can imagine.

Then, in a moment, they were all standing up on their hind legs, laying their cool paws on his knees and giving his knees snuffly animal kisses.

67 years ago "The Last Battle" was published, the seventh and last book of The Chronicles of Narnia. What is your favorite moment in the book?

Mine lies in the later chapters, when Tirian and those with him fearlessly rush to fight the Calormenes.

'The Last Battle' is my third favorite book in the franchise.

Apparently on ao3 the consensus is that Tirian and Emeth are boyfriends.

We stan.
