In C. S. Lewis's fantasy novels the ''Chronicles of Narnia'', Archenland is a nation to the south of Narnia, and to the north of both nations' occasional (and final) enemy, Calormen. Its borders are formed by mountains to the north and by the River Winding Arrow to the south. Its capital appears to be the castle located below the Anvard pass, which allows passage to Narnia. ==Geography== Archenland is described as a hilly nation constituting largely open parkland, with many different species of trees, but the trees are not spaced close enough together to form forests. It occupies the river basin of the Winding Arrow, a large river that runs from west to east through the whole country and drains into the Eastern Ocean. The river is partly navigable and probably provides a major trade route for Archenland and southern Narnia. Despite a large desert being situated immediately to the south, Archenland does not have an arid climate as the Winding Arrow moderates the climate and provides much fertile land. The mountain range to the north which divides Archenland from Narnia includes Stormness Head and the double-peaked Mount Pire, which was once a two-headed giant slain by the warrior Olvin (year 407). Archenland is protected by the mountains (north and west), desert (south), and sea (east) and has never been successfully invaded. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Archenland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
