Hermit of the Southern March

The Hermit of the Southern March was a very old man who lived on the southern border of Archenland.

Biography
Born in the year 905, during the reign of the White Witch, he was 109 when Aravis came to him for help.

The Hermit cared for Aravis and the horses Hwin and Bree after they were chased by Aslan to his door. He was a kindly, wise old man, with the rather unusual power of foresight.

There was a pool on the lawn by his hut, in which he saw many of the goings-ons from Telmar to the shipings of the islands in the Bight of Calormen, and from the southern cities of Calormen to the castles of the far northern Giants. He used his pool to see the Battle of Anvard, and relayed what had happened to Aravis and the horses.

He generally seemed to hold a contented belief in the goodness of Providence, and most certainly did not believe in luck.

His actual name is unknown.
