Aslan’s Hill is a round, tree-covered hill built over the Stone Table. Inside, the low tunnels and chambers are adorned with ancient carvings of lions and scenes from the story of Aslan. The broken Stone Table stands at the hill’s heart.

Ce qui s’y passe (révèle l’intrigue)

Caspian and his allies retreat there to face Miraz’s army. In a chamber of Aslan’s Hill, Nikabrik proposes to summon the White Witch with the help of a hag and a werewolf, before being killed in the fray.

Outside Aslan’s Hill, Peter duels Miraz. The Telmarines lose the battle, aided by the awakening of the trees.

Over the centuries, the Narnians have built on the Stone Table a hill riddled with tunnels and chambers. Its walls are carved with ancient figures and runes. It is called the Hill of Aslan. The Table, broken, lies at its center, in a hidden chamber.

Le Prince Caspian — Caspian y installe son quartier général. Elle est assiégée par Miraz. Nikabrik y tente d’invoquer la Sorcière, et c’est là que Peter écrit son défi au duel.
