The Story behind the wrap...
For well over a year after the Archenland Conflict, High King Peter, Queen Susan, King Edmund and Queen Lucy were told about the mythical beast by Mr.Tumnus. He said that it had "Once more appeared in his parts", indicating the Stag had been to Narnia before. They hunted the stag in Lantern Waste, near the Lamp-post, in order for the empire to have its wishes granted. However, they were unable to catch it, and instead unintentionally returned to Earth through Digory Kirke's Wardrobe, through which they reverted back into children, thus un-fulfilling their wishes. Ultimately, this brought an end to Narnia's Golden Age, and began its Dark Age. It's been theorized that the Stag was really Aslan in disguise, guiding them back to their world, as they had done all that they needed to do.
Archenland Archenland, officially the Kingdom of Archenland, was a mountainous country situated south of the Kingdom of Narnia and north of the Calormene Empire. Along with Narnia and other dominions, Archenland constituted part of the larger Narnian Empire. The seat of government was at Anvard, in the heart of the country. Anvard, the name of the castle, also gave the name to the city, which was the Kingdom's capital and only known populated area.
