Background
Telmarines have conquered Narnia, which is ruled by King Miraz, who usurped the throne by killing his brother, King Caspian IX. Prince Caspian escaped from Miraz's castle with the aid of his tutor Doctor Cornelius, who schooled him in the lore of Old Narnia and gave him Queen Susan's horn, and was taken in by the badger Trufflehunter and the dwarfs Nikabrik and Trumpkin, who accepted him as their king. The book was adapted as two episodes of a BBC television series in 1989 and as a feature film in 2008.
