Shasta

Shasta, more properly known as Cor, was a Prince and later King of Archenland. The Son of King Lune, Cor was kidnapped while still and infant and stolen away to Calormen. Years later Cor would return and save Archenland from the greatest danger it had ever faced. Years later Cor eventually married his travelling companion Aravis and the two went on to rule together once King Lune died. Cor and Aravis would also have a son who would later go on to be King Ram the Great.

Biography
Shasta is introduced in the fisherman Arsheesh's home. He was adopted by Arsheesh and grew up with him since as almost a 'slave'. It is likely that Shasta would have continued to live in this manner, if not for a chance incounter with Bree a talking horse and fellow captive within Calormen. The two escaped together the night of their meeting, and began their journey North. If Shasta had not escaped he would have been sold to a Tarkaan as a slave, someone harsher and meaner than Archeesh.

Some time later Bree and Shasta meet with two other travellers, Aravis and her horse Hwin. After some initial disagreements between the humans in the group, the four decided to continue on their journey together. The four continued to travel together without difficulty until they came to the Calormen capital of Tashbaan, where they were breifly seperated.
