Lore & Background
Aslan's Country is a realm of mountains tens of thousands of feet high, yet without snow or ice. The sky is clear blue, the grass lush green, and the air filled with colourful birds and beautiful trees. It lies beyond Narnia's rising sun at the Utter East, and rings around the whole Narnian world. Entrances exist from all worlds, including Narnia and Earth. In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the eastern sea transforms into shallow grassy shallows where water becomes land, hinting at its proximity, though Aslan turns back living travelers whose duty remains elsewhere. Its true nature is revealed at the end of The Last Battle, when Narnia ends and those who love Aslan pass through the stable door into his country, the "true" Narnia.
Reader's Guide
In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Aslan barred living travelers from staying, insisting their work lay in returning home. True entry occurs only after Narnia's final destruction in The Last Battle.
