Lord Scythley was a Telmarine lord who served on the Telmarine legislative council before and during the Narnian Revolution. He was the father of Prunaprismia, and thus the father-in-law of Miraz.
Role in the History of Narnia[]
During the council meeting, after Caspian X went missing in 2303 N.Y., Lord Scythley expressed suspicions that Miraz was involved in the prince's disappearance. When Miraz announced that Old Narnians were to blame, Lord Scythley accused him of using fairy tales as a scapegoat (few Telmarines at this time believed in Old Narnians). His suspicions were allayed, however, when Miraz had the Dwarf Trumpkin brought in before the council.
Lord Scythley participated in the Second_Battle_of_Beruna_(Walden), which erupted after the Telmarine Lord Lord_Sopespian_(Walden) interrupted the duel between Peter Pevensie and Miraz. After the Telmarines were defeated, he gave his sword to Trumpkin.
Later, when Aslan offered the Telmarines a way to get to Earth and begin a new life; Scythley, along with his daughter, Prunaprismia, her son and Lord General_Glozelle_(Walden) were the first to accept the offer. For their courage, Aslan promised them a good future on Earth.
