State Room

The State Room aboard the Dawn Treader is one of the fanciest rooms. It was Caspian's room, but when Lucy arrived, he moved down with Edmund, Eustace, and Reepicheep. Inside the State room is where many of Narnia’s precious artifacts are located. For example, Peter’s sword, given to Caspian, is stored here when Caspian does not have it on him. Susan’s bow and arrows are kept here as well, along with her horn, which is above the fireplace. Lucy’s dagger and healing cordial are here as well, so she gets them back upon her arrival. Caspian even brought Edmund’s torch, which he had forgotten at the end of Prince Caspian, and it proves to be very useful in the movie. Above the fireplace is a golden representation of Aslan’s head, which juts out from the wall. On the walls around the room are paintings depicting events of Narnia’s history. For example, a lamppost and the four Pevensies as Kings and Queens are there. Above this there are quotes such as “once a King or Queen in Narnia, always a King or Queen” or “in this world it was only as one remembers a dream.” There are beautiful windows overlooking the sea in the back, and a balcony. Also, the furniture here is beautifully carved.

The State Room is the setting for many events in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. For example, it is here that Edmund and Lucy are given back their gifts. Also, because Lucy and the stowaway Gael sleep here, it is the set for Lucy’s temptation and where Aslan comes to speak to her. Finally, here is where Caspian gives Edmund Peter’s sword before the ship enters Dark Island.
