This ragtag group of people were forced into hiding when their homeland of Narnia was overtaken by Telmarines led by Caspian I in 1998. They fled to the forest after losing the battle, living there for nine generations. During this era, all human Narnians either fled or died out, though some dwarves were able to blend into the Telmarine society and retain their rights. They eventually lost all touch with their forest-dwelling relations and were no longer considered proper Narnians.
