This is possibly the most self-indulgent thing I have ever done, but I keep thinking about it! So perhaps if I write it up I shall stop thinking about it.

(A mock-up for a five season TV series covering the years from The Last Battle to Dust in the Air.)

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: BORDER WARS

Narnia has fallen. In the east, a Calormene governor arrives to take control of the state, while in the west, a false prophet proclaims the will of a new god. In the city of Cair Paravel, a young gangster seeks to grab power in the wake of his country's subjugation, while in Lantern Waste a deposed king and his three friends try to stay alive in a land beset by anarchy.

( Five seasons, covering the years from The Last Battle to Dust in the Air )

Like I said. Most self-indulgent thing ever. And wow, this took way more time than I thought it would. Also, it's much harder to find pictures of unicorns than one might think.

ETA: Changed one picture (Prejun), added one episode (5.10, "Rule Britannia"), edited the beginning for clarity.
