Golden Age of Narnia



The relatively brief, but well-known Golden Age of Narnia (1000-1015), was initiated by the Battle of Beruna and marked the end of the Long Winter as predicted by the Golden Age Prophecy. During these fifteen Narnian years, Peter Pevensie ruled as High King alongside his siblings, Queen Susan, King Edmund and Queen Lucy. During its early years, the Pevensies lead Aslan's army against the remnants of the White Witch's Army, and in its later years defended Narnia from Calormen attacks and assults from Ettinsmoor. The Golden Age came to end when these four rulers disappeared from the World of Narnia while hunting the White Stag in Lantern Waste, thus the Dark Age had begun.
