This hasn't come up yet, but the Pevensies have ended up with the crazy hardcore Narnians, the ones that really believe Tirian handed Narnia over to Calormen on a silver platter and that the Telmarines are at the root of all evils. They are trying to get back to the Narnia of their roots! They are trying to connect with the Narnia of the distant past! Only problem is that the Narnia they think they know doesn't exist...
Oh, man, they wouldn't dare try drawing Rhindon. It's a tradition that started with Caspian, because he never used the sword, never. (Just like in some legends no one but Queen Susan could string her bow, or how no one but Queen Lucy could use the cordial...) And there is still some lingering of the legend about Rhindon having to taste blood; I think it may have changed so that if anyone who isn't Peter draws the sword, it'll taste that blood -- their life's blood. No, they wouldn't draw Rhindon.
(Er, sorry, I started this before your edit, so that's in my e-mail window...)
There is pretty much the implication that getting the four of them is a package deal. This is the same lot that refuses to believe that Lucy and Edmund were with Caspian on the Dawn Treader; Telmarine propaganda to legitimize their claim! And the Queen of Morning and King of Evening would never appear in Narnia without the King of Summer and Queen of Spring. (Note also that Peter's never referred to as the High King here. That's significant somehow, I think. Unless I'm mistaken, Tirian's the only Narnian that's called Peter "High King" so far...)
They remember enough that it has to be volunteers.
