But when Caspian set out on his adventure in the woods, it says he took wine with him. Now, I know Narnia probably doesn't have a legal drinking age, but it still made me wonder. I had always imagined him to be pretty young, about the same age as the Pevensie kids at this point, and they're not old enough to drink!

So does anybody have an idea on this? There they met a slave trader called Pug , who captured them with the intent of selling them at the Narrowhaven slave market that day. While en route to the market, Caspian was separated from his companions and purchased as a manservant by an island Lord. His new master told him after the purchase that he had been bought because of his resemblance to a man the Lord had once served.

This information led Caspian to guess correctly that the man was Lord Bern , one of his father's banished lords. Having proven that he was indeed Caspian X, he and Bern began to lay plans to rescue his Narnian friends from the slave market. They sent a message to the Dawn Treader to trick and frighten the Islanders into thinking they had a fleet. Caspian then brought his entire crew ashore, and dressed them all in armour, then paraded through the streets to announce the visit of the King of Narnia to the Governor of the Lone Islands.

The Governor was unprepared and unwilling to shut down the slave trade, or able to pay the due taxes to Narnia. Thereafter, he learned that Lord Bern's six companions had sailed on, and as soon as he and his crew were ready, Caspian also sailed away after them.

While at sea, they were struck by a hurricane for many days, and received substantial damage to their ship. They landed on an uninhabited island for repairs, and on their first day there, Eustace disappeared. Search parties were sent out for him all day, but found nothing more than the carcass of a dead dragon. The next morning, Caspian and a few of his crew were camping on the beach, when they awoke to find that another dragon had landed between them and their fellow crewmen.

When they went to fight the dragon, they discovered it to be friendly, and eventually realised that it was none other than the missing Eustace, under an enchantment. After their repairs were complete, and Eustace was returned to human form by Aslan, they sailed on. They concluded that the missing Lord Octesian must have met his end on that island, though whether he was killed or changed into the now deceased dragon, was unknown.

Caspian ordered a small memorial to be carved into one of the cliffs there, and named the place Dragon Island. They next happened upon an island, which had apparently once been inhabited, but was by then burned down.

They named it Burnt Island , and sailed on. While still at sea, they were attacked by a giant Sea Serpent , which they escaped by pushing its coils off their ship. They then stopped at another uninhabited island, where they found a set of armour, and a golden statue of a man in a pool that turned all things to gold.

They concluded from the armour that the man was Lord Restimar , who had unknowingly ended his own life by diving into the pool and turning himself into gold.

It was here where Caspian and Edmund, for a short time, became consumed with greed at the thought of having an endless supply of gold. Their avarice grew to the point where they threatened each other, but were fortunate when the sight of Aslan appeared before them, breaking the spell. Caspian had first planned on naming the island Goldwater Island , but after what happened with Edmund, he decided the name Deathwater Island was more appropriate.

They then returned to the ship, and sailed on. They landed next on a cultivated island. Upon exploration, Caspian and his companions discovered an apparently empty manor house, but then Lucy found them, and told them that she had heard invisible people on the island planning to cut the Narnians off from their ship. Though they hurried back, their invisible enemies had already taken up position between them and the Dawn Treader. Caught, Caspian and his companions were forced to hear and accept the terms of their captors, an invisible race called the Duffers , who had served a magician they regarded as evil.

They forced Lucy to find the required spell to make them visible again, which she did in the magician's Book of Incantations. When she met the magician, she discovered him to actually be a fallen star , called Coriakin , who was in the service of Aslan. He welcomed Caspian and his crew, and told them that a ship with four lords had passed that way many years before, and had continued sailing East. Sailing on, they came to a dark spot in the sea. Determined to explore, Caspian ordered his captain Drinian to sail into it.

They sailed on, growing completely lost, until they found a man, weak and frightened, swimming for his life in the water. When they rescued him, he told them that he was Lord Rhoop , and that they were then within the bounds of Dark Island , the island where all dreams came true, including their worst nightmares.

Eager to escape attack from their worst fears, Caspian and the crew turned about, and were guided away from the island by the appearance of Aslan, in the form of a giant albatross. They next came to a dark, wild, quiet island , where they found only a table with a great banquet set, and three men sitting at the table.

All three were sound asleep, and could not be awakened. After spending the night on the island, Caspian and his friends were met by Lilliandil , who told them that the island they were on was the beginning of the end of the world, and that the sleeping three were the remaining lost lords Mavramorn , Argoz and Revilian. They were, she explained, under an enchantment. Caspian, quickly smitten with the beautiful maiden, asked her how to break the enchantment.

She responded that her father, a star called Ramandu , could tell him that. When he appeared, he revealed that the only way to break the spell was to sail to the very end of the world, and leave one person there. When the ship could sail no further, Caspian, determined to go to the End of the World and break the enchantment, gave orders to his captain and dear friend, Drinian, to return to Narnia and choose a new king.

Drinian and the crew refused, and even threatened to detain the King by force. Caspian persisted, until he was reminded of his promise to return to Lilliandil, and a visit from Aslan, who reminded him of his duty as king. After the army returns, Nikabrik convinces Caspian to participate in a ritual that will resurrect the White Witch.

From inside a wall of ice, the Witch tries to convince Caspian to free her with a drop of blood. Peter, Edmund, Lucy and Trumpkin arrive.

Edmund kills the werewolf and Trumpkin stabs Nikabrik just as he is about to kill Lucy. Peter kills the hag and then, seeing Caspian being manipulated by the White Witch, knocks him down and faces the White Witch. She quickly begins convincing Peter to release her. Before he can do anything, Edmund shatters the ice, destroying the White Witch.

With the Telmarine army arriving at the How, Caspian suggests that Peter fight Miraz in a duel to the death, the prize being surrender, in order to buy time for Susan and Lucy to find Aslan. Miraz, who can't afford to look cowardly in the face of his army, accepts the challenge. As the two combatants fight, Susan is forced to let Lucy go on alone as they were being followed by Telmarine horsemen.

She kills all but one of the enemy cavalry; this one knocks her down and almost kills her before Caspian arrives and kills the soldier. The two return together to the battle site. Soon, Peter wounds Miraz, but leaves his fate to Caspian.

At first, it look like Caspian is about to take his uncle's life, but stabs his sword into the ground, saying that Miraz can keep his life, but he is giving Narnia back to the Narnians. But one of Miraz's generals, Sopespian Glozelle in the book , stabs him with a Narnian arrow and blames it on the Narnians. The Telmarine forces bombard the How, then charge with horsemen. But Caspian and his troops cause the earth beneath the enemy to collapse, Susan rallies archers to shoot them down, and Peter leads a massive charge.

Even though the cavalry was easily being killed, the Telmarines called in another garrison which Peter hesitated to retreat from the massive force. The trebuchets were ordered to prevent the escape and they did eliminating the choice of retreat.

With no where to run and no surrender possible, the Narnians are forced into an inescapable battle in which the odds are against them. Lucy is still being chased - until Aslan arrives and drives the Telmarines away. After they finish reuniting with each other, Aslan gently rebukes Lucy for not seeking him sooner. She asks why he didn't come to save them like he did on their last visit to Narnia; Aslan simply replies "Things never happen the same way twice.

He then summons the river god, who destroys the majority of the army, as well as swallows Sopespian. As the survivors surrender, Aslan heals Reepicheep who lost his tail in the battle , and proclaims that Caspian is ready to be king.

At the Telmarine Castle, Aslan revealed that the Telmarines originally came from Earth, who were once pirates who found a portal to Narnia. He offered them a chance to return to their homeland or stay in Narnia. Using his breath, he turns a tree into a portal.

Prunaprismia and Glozelle are the first to go and as soon as they step through, they vanish.
