Beaver's Dam

From WikiNarnia, the Narnian Encyclopedia

Beaver's Dam, corrupted over time to the spelling Beaversdam, was a historically significant location in the Duchy of Lantern Waste in the northwestern Kingdom of Narnia.

Beaver's Dam was originally the abode of Mr. and Mrs. Beaver who aided the Pevensies in fleeing from the Witch's Secret Police and became the first base of the Narnians against Queen Jadis before the unification of Aslan's Army at Aslan's Camp, at the start of the Winter Revolution.

It was often used as a landmark on the Great River and because of its historical meaningfulness throughout the land, it became a popular destination and, eventually, a populous community of Old Narnian talking beasts.

During the then-nascent Telmarine Conquest, the Old Narnians were exiled from the community as Telmarines occupied the area and developed the community into a town of civilised humans. It would eventually become the Telmarines' new capital of Narnia with the Castle of Caspian soon in construction on the opposite bank of the Great River. The human-only immigrants gave Beaversdam its new spelling and developed it into a small thriving city.

Only after the Narnian Revolution did a mixture of humans and returning Old Narnians inhabit Beaversdam in peace.
