Encyclopedia > Lone Islands

In the Chronicles of Narnia, The Lone Islands are a set of three islands - Felimath, Doorn, and Avra - that are part of the Narnian empire. They became attached to the Narnian crown when King Gale of Narnia killed a dragon that ruled them during the era before The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe took place. The full title of any Narnian king is "King of Narnia, Lord of Cair Paravel, Emperor of the Lone Islands". In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Caspian X, Lucy and Edmund Pevensie, Eustace Scrubb, and Reepicheep go ashore on Felimath and are taken prisoner by slavers. Caspian is recued by Lord Bern, one of the seven loyal Telmarine noblemen who had been exiled by Caspian's uncle after his father's death. From him he learns that the Islands' government has become corrupt, due to the wealth flowing from the main seaport's having become a transit-point in the slave trade. Caspian returns to the Dawn Treader, goes to the governor's office in Narrowhaven, and forces the governor to resign, creating Lord Bern as the Duke of the Islands. He also declares the slave trade abolished and recovers the other captives. The Dawn Treader remains in port for several weeks to outfit for the journey east: thereafter little is mentioned about the Lone Islands in later stories.
