bedlamsbardWait, 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.)
