Well, I am glowing.

...

Has anyone here participated in a joust?

Have you visited either of them before? Perhaps we could compare descriptions--it could be that we're thinking of the same places, but with the names slightly changed.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

No, but Telmar no longer exists, and Calormen is to the south. It's much warmer there. Archenland is mountainous.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Then I'm afraid they're not the same, because I was in Tamir less than a day before I arrived here, and it certainly existed for me!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Tell me what is Tamir like?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, there's an ocean to the west, and in the east is a long chain of mountains. The rest is woods and countryside, with a river that runs through the middle. Oh, and there's a very strange manor house there, with a graveyard on either side of it.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Only one manor house?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Yes, but no one lived there; it seemed to be abandoned. The people I met in Tamir lived in other places--some dwarves had a little cottage near their mine, a fisherman lived next to the ocean, things like that.

...And there was a witch who lived in a castle in the mountains, but she's gone now.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Was your world not particularly populated?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Tamir didn't seem to be, but I wasn't there for very long, so it may be that I just didn't meet a lot of the residents. I know for a fact that Daventry is a flourishing kingdom, though!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

It sounds like an interesting place nonetheless.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It is...and more importantly, it's home.

May I ask about your land of Narnia? Is it a kingdom, also?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Yes, Narnia is a kingdom. It is like the woods here but spread across the land with good valleys. To the west is the river, and to the east the sea where there are many islands both inhabited and unexplored.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It sounds like a beautiful place to live. What are the people like? Are there a great many?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Well the people are like me, and like the Pevensies, but there are also centaurs, minotaurs, and Talking Beasts.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

How strange! I've heard stories of minotaurs back home, but I've never encountered one personally. Do you perchance have unicorns or dragons among your talking beasts?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Yes, I have heard stories of them. But like your case with the minotaurs, I have not met one of Narnia's unicorns or dragons personally.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

That may be lucky for you, though. Dragons...aren't very pleasant to meet face-to-face.
