Siege of Cair Paravel



The Siege of Cair Paravel was a successful overthrowing of the Old Narnians by the Telmarines that occurred in 1998 Narnian time. The Structure of Cair Paravel was bombarded by catapults used by the Telmarine army and the castle was destroyed. The Telmarine battle fleet was also used during the siege to land troops. The Narnians knew they had to get Susan Pevensie's horn before the Telmarines got it and destroyed it. They got it and fled for they knew that there was no victory in that fight and the only thing to save them in the future if needed was the horn.

Peter Pevensie, Susan Pevensie, Edmund Pevensie, and Lucy Pevensie later return to Cair Paravel, oblivious to what happened because of the lapse in time between Earth and Narnian time, and wondered what happened. Once they find out what happened, the events The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian occur.

Cair Paravel was later rebuilt by King Caspian X.

In the Prince Caspian video game, the Siege of Cair Paravel is a level. The player had to control a White Minotaur, a centaur, a faun, and a dwarf to fight the Telmarines by piloting giants to destroy the trebuchets (that's done by the minotaur and centaur), using the ballistas to sink the Telmarine ships (that's done by the minotaur and faun with the help of a gryphon), locating Susan's horn (that's the faun and dwarf's job), protecting the battlements (that's done by the minotaur and dwarf with the help of the giants they save), and escaping Cair Paravel. The level ends with the dwarf escaping with the horn while riding a gryphon.
