"In the years since the Pensvie children were in Narnia. about 1300 Narnian years have passed. Some humans have stumbled into the land of Telmar, invaded Narnia and conquered it. They have suppressed the "Old Narnians," the talking beasts and so on, and because of their fear of the sea, they have allowed a great wood to grow up along the sea. Narnia has been conquered by Caspian the Conqueror, also known as Caspian the First.
By the time our book begins, Caspian the Tenth is growing up in the court of his Uncle Miraz, a man who murdered Caspian's father, the rightful king." Douglas Wilson, Omnibus 1.
Telmar is not to be confused with Tashbaan. Tashbaan, the capital city featured in The Horse and His Boy is located to the south of Narnia and Archenland. Telmar is in what was Narnia.

not to sound all "smart student" or anything, but Telmar is actually to the west of Narnia, more in the area of the garden in "the magician's nephew". if I remeber correctly, Telmarines actually founded Calormen, but I don't know how acurate that is, just as I don't know how acurate that spelling of acurate is. ;)
Thanks Matthew, I will say that I have trouble remembering all the details from the books. My mind is kind of like a sieve. This information I actually got out of a teacher's guide, so we'll blame it on them.
this book is goooooooooood
