My claims are neither unfounded nor unprecedented. For those of you who remain in blissful ignorance, allow me to give you a brief timeline.

0 A.D. (After Departure): Aslan and Tash depart from Narnia forever, leaving huge religious organization in their wake. Their departure, while questioned by the scientific community, marks the start of our modern history. The events surrounding the "departure" throw Narnia into a bitter religious civil war that lasts four years. The atrocities committed by the Aslanic and the Tashlanian churches during this time are now overlooked and unmentioned by the reigning political party.

4 A.D.: An outside and "unaffiliated" political party takes control with a peaceful coup, establishing a tentative constitutional monarchy. The monarch in question is called the "Paslan," a nod to the still-powerful Aslanic church. Archenland, taking advantage of the precarious political situation in Narnia, begins building weapons made with dark magic. Thus follows the infamous "Silent War," in which both sides race to outbuild each other. The weapons remain intact to this day.

8 A.D.: The larger body of Narnia takes control of the small northern section, supposedly to promote peace with the nearly-extinct giants. This bid for power, while successful, alienates a good portion of the Northern population.

9 A.D.: The dryads and sentient trees stage a number of peaceful protests, gaining, among other things, the right to inter-species marriage.

10 A.D.: The ancient city of Magnolia becomes Narnia's capital, largely due to its trade-influenced wealth and strategic position between North and Central Narnia.

14 A.D.: The gold market crashes, bringing the economy down with it. The economy struggles for the next nine years, not fully recovering until 23 A.D. The Aslanic and Tashlanian churches, already on the decline, lose any official power previously held in the Paslan government. The North, in particular, is thrown into a depression that cripples the powerful fishing industry.

17 A.D.: The magic guilds begin to gain power. Their establishment of the freelancing job system jumpstarts the failing economy and despite the collateral damage, is praised by many economists.

19 A.D.: The Magic Council is established, operating outside the Paslan government.

29 A.D.: Narnia declares war with Archenland after the murder of thirty-nine civilians held in a prisoner of war camp. The facts of the case are, at best, disputed. The war, while initially applauded as a patriotic response, quickly becomes unpopular. The government quickly begins to lose favor.

32 A.D.: After a vicious battle that causes heavy casualties on both sides, the war ends and a peace treaty is signed on October 17. On November 21, the new Paslan is elected.

All of which brings us to today. The hidden war crimes of the Aslanic and Tashlanian churches are only the tip of the iceberg. The political clout they still wield today threatens to corrupt the current government. And why, one must ask, was the economy so dependent on gold coin? Where did the funds that the Paslan was "feeding into the economy" go? Why did the government feel the need to make peace with a giant race that was aging and weak? And what really happened to the thirty-nine civilians in Archenland? Our modern history is a long series of unanswered questions, deflected and covered up by the government, and at times, even by the guilds. In asking for change, I am only asking for the right of every citizen: the right to truth.
