I know. Canon and I have only a passing acquaintance. This is truth.
Wait, there are seventy years between VotDT and SC? SEVENTY YEARS?
And, I mean, even if Rilian is thirty or forty -- my bet is thirtysomething, though heaven knows they're probably going to make him younger FOR A CHANGE, and I'd already had him kidnapped at somewhere between thirteen and eighteen because it's, what, ten years between his kidnapping and SC? -- nobody freaked out about Caspian not having an heir for the first thirty or forty years of his reign? Or told him to get a new wife? Wouldn't Ramandu's daughter have passed childbearing age? (Or, wait, never mind, she's the daughter of a star, she's probably ageless.)
Oh my God, I have to go find the place where I babbled about the Dustverse conspiracy theories about Rilian's return, because I feel this sudden knowledge makes them so much more legitimate.
Seriously, seventy years? I thought it was only around fifty or so. Hell, that may actually make the three hundred years I have between SC and Dust/LB come up short, and LB says two hundred years since Rilian's reign.
Seriously, seventy years? I was wondering why Caspian was so old and decrepit when it couldn't possibly have been that long, judging by the age of his son alone. Of course, I was under the impression he knocked up his wife as soon as he got back to Narnia. CLEARLY I WAS WRONG.
(This is brought to you by chapter three of the audiobook version of The Silver Chair, which is actually really good. I go on and off with audiobooks, but Narnia works for them.)

...they're probably not too happy that Caspian married some chick he met at the end of the world who claims to be the daughter of a star rather than some Narnian part-human or Telmarine lady or some advantageous Archenlander princess, either.
