A war over a cow. We do hold bulls in high regard and if the ox can be a symbol of the new year then perhaps a cow is worth battling for.

Still, it is a cow. A war over a cow. What value do cows hold in your world?

I've had to do the same, but fortunately we have not faced a famine like the one that forced my forefathers out of Telmar.

[thefutureking.livejournal.com]

It forced your people to leave their country?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is the story in any case. There was a great famine so the Telmarines moved eastward into Narnia. This was at least ten generations ago.

[thefutureking.livejournal.com]

I doubt the Narnians invited them?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

No... the Telmarines were uninvited. It isn't the brightest piece of history.

[thefutureking.livejournal.com]

No, but I can understand. It... almost sounds like something my father might do.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Caspian, the First of That Name, certainly did but Narnia was also lawless at the time. People do what they must to survive, at least now there is hope for peace between the Narnians and the Telmarines.

[thefutureking.livejournal.com]

So he saved his own people and brought law to the land?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

At the expense of other things, yes.

[thefutureking.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm sure that you will do an even better job yourself.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I don't doubt the same of you, Arthur.
