Aslan’s Country



Aslan's Country is a fictional location from C. S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia series. It is the home of Aslan, the great lion. It is described as a series of mountains, thousands of feet high, but without snow or ice. Instead, Aslan's Country has a clear blue sky, lush green grass, colourful birds, and beautiful trees. There are entrances to Aslan's Country from all worlds, including Narnia and The Voyage of the Dawn TreaderNarnia's rising sun at the eastern edge of the world, and indeed rings around the whole Narnian world.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the third published book of the series, King Caspian X of Narnia set out to the eastern edge of the world to find seven lost lords of Narnia. At the end of the voyage, Reepicheep, a talking mouse, went directly to Aslan's Country.

The Silver Chair

At the beginning of The Silver Chair, Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole escape from bullies at a boarding school in England and find themselves in Aslan's Country, where they meet Aslan. They are then blown to Narnia by Aslan's breath. At the end of the book they find themselves back in Aslan's Country, where they meet the resurrected King Caspian and are sent back to England.

The Last Battle

At the end of The Last Battle, there is a stable door that leads to Aslan's country. For creatures that have not believed in Aslan, the stable door leads into a stable that is said to hold the false god "Tashlan". For creatures that have believed in Aslan,including: King Tirian, Eustace Scrubb, and Jill Pole the door leads to part of Aslan's country. It is there that they meet the three Pevensie children (excluding Susan Pevensie) and the elderly Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer. Aslan later summons all creatures in the world of Narnia to the stable door to be judged: all creatures look at Aslan and are separated, the "good" creatures going to Aslan's country, and the "bad" going to an unmentioned place. The Narnian world is then destroyed.

The part of Aslan's country that they are brought to is described as a larger Narnia: it is exactly like the old one only perfect. It is also discovered that there are several worlds like it that jut out from the mountains of Aslan's Country. It is where creatures from all worlds come to live at their death or the end of their world.
