The Battle of Aslan's Camp was a minor skirmish near the Stone Table in Narnian-year 1000. However, it marked the first attack by the White Witch's forces on her oppressed Narnian citizens, and was considered the first heated engagement of the Winter Revolution.
At least two wolves of the Witch's Secret Police, led by Maugrim, stealthily surrounded Aslan's Camp and Susan Pevensie blew her ivory horn to alert Aslan's Army about the impending attack.
Maugrim headed for Susan, who climbed a tree to escape. Her brother Peter Pevensie arrived with his sword, Rhindon, in his hands. He aimed a slash at Maugrim, but missed, only angering the wolf captain. But while Maugrim howled in a rage, Peter impaled him through the heart with his next stroke, killing him.
Centaurs, eagles, fauns and leopards chased another wolf away. The wolves were followed back to the White Witch's camp, where the pursuers found and rescued Edmund. Aslan knighted Peter on the spot at the Stone Table for his bravery, giving him the name "Sir Peter Wolf's-Bane".
