Hermit of the Southern March

From WikiNarnia, the Narnian Encyclopedia

The Hermit of the Southern March was a very old man who lived on the southern border of Archenland. Born during the reign of the White Witch, he was 109 when Aravis came to him for help.

The Hermit cared for Aravis and the horses Hwin and Bree after they were chased by Aslan to his door. He was a kindly wise old man, with the rather unusual power of farsight. There was a pool on the lawn by his hut in which he saw many of the goings-ons from the Western Wild to the Eastern Isles and from the southern cities of Calormen to the castles of the northern Giants. He used his pool to see the Battle of Anvard and relayed whats happening to Aravis and the horses.

He generally seemed to hold a contented belief in the goodness of Providence and most certainly did not believe in luck.

His actual name is unknown.
