Ever since I started the thread Jadis's rise to power, in which I attempted to chronicle the key events between TMN and LWW, I have been promising to do a similar thing for the events between LWW and PC. I now realise that thread was posted more than four years ago, and I still haven't done anything further, so I decided it's time to start.
Here are some key questions that I will need to resolve. I invite your speculation on some answers, and then I will take from the most plausible suggestions to construct a possible history.
1) What happened in Narnia after the Pevensies suddenly disappeared? Was there a crisis of power, or was there a peaceful transition? Who came to rule?
2) How long after the Pevensies left did the Telmarines invade? What was the reason for the invasion? What was the political situation like in Narnia before the invasion? How long had the Telmarines been in Telmar before they moved to Narnia? Did the Telmarines make Narnia part of their Empire, or did they migrate en masse to Narnia, leaving Telmar behind? Was this migration sudden or gradual?
3) When and why was Aslan's How built? Was it soon after LWW or a long time? Was it before or after the Telmarine invasion?
4) What was the relationship between the Telmarines and the Narnians? Was it one of hostility from the start, or were there times of peaceful co-existence that gradually developed into hostility?
5) When and why and how did the forests begin to grow up? Had they already started to grow up before the Telmarine invasion? Were they planted deliberately or did they just grow up by accident?
6) When and why did the Telmarines come to fear the woods and the sea? Was this a fear they brought with them from Telmar, or did it develop after arriving in Narnia?
7) What was the nature of Telmarine politics? Was there often conflict between competing claimants to the throne, or was Miraz's usurpation of the throne an unusual event in a normally peaceful line of undisputed father-to-son transitions?
8) Any other questions you feel are relevant.
