False Aslan Affair

The False Aslan affair (Narnian-year 2555) was a major conspiracy that became a national crisis in the Kingdom of Narnia, leaving the country greatly unprepared for a surprise invasion by the Calormene forces.

Beginning
The idea of impersonating Aslan was concocted by the ape Shift, when he discovered along with the donkey Puzzle the skin of a wild lion in Caldron Pool. Shift, being the smarter one, persuaded Puzzle to put on the lionskin and allow himself to be exhibited to other Narnians as Aslan by Shift. Shift began using his position as "Aslan's" spokesperson to gain position and power in the crumbling world of Narnia.

Participants

 * Shift, the ape mastermind
 * The Tisroc, leader of the Calormenes and co-conspirator
 * Puzzle, the unaware accomplice, dressed up as the "False" Aslan
 * Rishda Tarkaan A relative of the Tisroc who was helping him take over Narnia.
