Dark Age of Narnia

The nation Narnia, along with the rest of the world during the Dark Age (1015-1998), was the Narnian world's mysterious middle eras, immediately following the Golden Age, in which a time of intellectual darkness ("unenlightenment"), decline in economic prosperity, and social collapse swept across the Narnian Empire and other civilisations for 983 Narnian years. Apparently education and learning greatly decreased after the strange disappearance of the four beloved Pevensie rulers of Narnia in 1015. Records and documentation of Narnia's history suddenly ceased altogether and a period of apparent lack of rule ensued. Not one of the young Pevensie kings and queens had left any heir or successor at all, and since their reign had begun after defeat of the White Witch, their disappearance left no royal family whatsoever.

The year the Pevensies disappeared, King Lune, ruler of Archenland, possibly had his second son Corin take possession of Narnia (since the population lacked significant, if any human population). During the first half of this age, many undocumented kings and queens ruled Narnia, although nothing is know of these disputed dynasties, they where presumed to repeatedly rise and fall. One ruler of an unknown, possibly the last dynasty, was Queen Swanwhite II, who was crowned in 1502, that was likely descendant from Corin himself.

Although no accounts of the later centuries of the second half of this vast era have been found, it is believed the country of Narnia had somehow lost in monarchy during its last dynasty. It could of been murdered by an anarchist movement within Narrnia itself, due to the disapproval of its leaders' policies and rivalries. This left the nation in a state of anarchy where talking beasts declined, living a more natural, governmentless existence while Calormens and Archenlanders may have battled for control of Narnia. Since neither country succeeded in capturing Narnia, a few talking beast may of had some, perhaps even signifigent authority over Narnia.

Some time during this age, the Giants of the Wild Lands of the North, had lost their society and empire, until all that remained was the castle of Harfang. The Lady of the Green Kirtle may of been born in this era, as it was the age when the Ruined City of the Giants fell.

However, the innately warrioristic Telmarines, far more powerful than any other invaders, began seizing Narnian lands until they had taken over the entire country, abandoning their home of Telmar, and keeping the conquered land's name of "Narnia". The Telmarine Conquest was a success; Narnia had fallen to foreign control: the Telmarine Age had begin.
