Telmarine Age of Narnia

The Telmarine Conquest was the invasion of Narnia by the people of Telmar during Narnia's Age of Mystery with disappearence of the previous monarchs. The leader of the Telmarines during this conquest was King Caspian I, or Caspian the Great, who defeated the army of Narnia and built his own capital city at the heart of Narnia, far from the north, south, and the ocean, letting Cair Paravel be abandoned. Upon this conquest, the Telmarines amassed not only control of the mainland Narnia, but its imperial territories like the Province of Galma and the Lone Islands, making the King of Narnia also the Emperor of the Lone Islands and the Overlord of Galma.

After discovering the state of anarchy over Narnia, the Telmarines sailed from Telmar and invaded Galma and the Lone Islands, instituting close ties to Calormen in the Lone Islands and introducing governors and nobility. They then continued to mainland Narnia where they landed at Cair Paravel and defeated the Army of Narnia, which remained leaderless, and introduced borders seperating the far north of Archenland from themselves and discontinuing full relationships with Archenland. Many talking animals either abandoned their intelect or retreated to solitude and hiding, with some of the more fortunate dwarfs, who could pose as humans to the Telmarines, inter-married with Telmarine women. The Telmarines instituted a new nobility and organized military, and would reinstitute the tolerance of talking animals at the reign of King Caspian X. The Telmarines lost control of Narnia to Calormen directly before the end of the World of Narnia.
