Tirian & Jewel
Tirian , son of Erlian , is the king of Narnia throughout the events of The Last Battle , while the unicorn Jewel is his mount and best friend . Together , Tirian and Jewel try desperately to call Narnians to reason and stop the Last Battle from destroying the kingdom . Tirian and Jewel are great examples of true honor and chivalry , characteristics harder and harder to find in our days .

Tashlan
The Last Battle is brought about from one of Shift ’ s ingenious plans : pretending to be Aslan ’ s spokesperson and take advantage of the faith other Narnians have in the Lion . Eventually , Shift ( who does not believe in beings like Aslan and Tash ) combines the Great Lion with the Calormene chief deity , in an attempt to please all parties and secure his ruse . Thus “ Tashlan ” is born , the fusion of two beings who Aslan later reveals to be irreconcilable . As Aslan explains , the two are exactly opposed , since Aslan represents all that is good and Tash represents all that is bad . As such , it is impossible for something such as “ Tashlan ” to even exist , much less to be honored and served .
