Liliandil



Ramandu's Daughter was the daughter of Ramandu, the wife of King Caspian X, and the mother of King Rilian. Her true name is unknown.

Childhood
She (name unknown) was the daughter of Ramandu, a resting Star, and an unknown mother. She grew up on her father's island at the Beginning of the End of the World. Together she and her father guarded the knife that slew Aslan, far from human company. In the 2290's NY, three men appeared on the island and were enchanted by the touch of the knife, falling into a deep sleep. In 2306, another ship landed on the island and were met by Ramandu's Daughter. They identified themselves as Narnians and friends of the three sleepers. They were led by the young King Caspian, who was instantly smitten with the star's lovely daughter. Caspian requested of her whether to break the spell on the sleepers he would be reqquired to perform some act of manly valour (in his mind, a kiss). Ramandu's daughter replied that he must break the spell first. The young king immediately determined that he would break the spell, and asked of her what he must do. Ramandu gave him instruction, and Caspian and his crew sailed away, leaving behind them a Lord called Rhoop, and a sailor called Pittencream. Ramandu and his daughter presumably cared for both men during their stay.

Marriage and Queenship
In time, the spell was broken and the sleeping Lords awoke. Shortly after, King Caspian and his crew returned to the island to take their people back to Narnia. While there, Caspian asked Ramandu's Daughter to come to Narnia with him, which she did. After a few years, the two married and Caspian made Ramandu's daughter his Queen. She was by all accounts a good and dearly beloved monarch. After ten years of marriage, she gave birth to a son and heir apparent, Prince Rilian, who was part star and part human. When Rilian was newly knighted and about twenty years old, he, the Queen and some courtiers went maying in the Narnian forests. While resting apart from the others, the Queen was attacked by a green serpent. Her screams were heard by the courtiers, who rushed to her rescue too late. Before she died, the Queen seemed to try hard to tell Rilian something, but was unable to say it before the serpent's venom took hold. She went to Aslan's Country, where she lived past the end of the Narnian World.

It is unknown what she was trying to say to Rilian before she died. It was discovered later that the serpent that killed her was in truth a witch whose true aim was to kidnap the prince. It is possible, but speculative, that the Queen realized this and was trying to warn her son.
