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, along with a donkey Puzzle saw a wild lion skin, fall down the Great Waterfall, from the Western Wild region and into the Caldron Pool. Shift, being the smarter one, persuaded Puzzle to collect the lion skin from the pool and put on the lionskin over his own skin 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.

The Consequences
The Calormene Empire took full advantage of this time which the Narnians call their second "dark age". They invaded Narnia with the help of the ape Shift. Soon, Narnian trees were being cut down, thus killing many of the Dryads. One came running to King Tirian for help, but died right away, due to the fact that her tree was felled. All this began with the ape wanting control over Narnia's weak population.

End
The end of the affair came when the Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole intervene with the help of the overthrown Narnian king, Tirian. Soon, the real Aslan reveals himself and all is laid to rest. However, to please some of the bistanders, Aslan calls on the god Tash who then carries a bistander off. All then is at peace.

All this eventually leads up to Aslan destroying Narnia to bring its inhabitants to a better place, Aslan's Country
