[[File:3774.jpg|left]]As a young Calormene soldier and loyal servant of Tash, Emeth is delighted when he is chosen to take part in a new attack on Narnia. But that delight soon sours when he learns they are entering Narnia in disguise rather than as soldiers. He finds even more insulting the tale that that his commander Rishda Tarkaan and Shift the Ape are spinning, that Aslan and Tash are one — "Tashlan." When Emeth has the opportunity to come face to face with "Tashlan," he takes it, presenting himself to Rishda and asking to go into the Stable to face his god. Rishda initially refuses, knowing that it is only a trick, but Emeth's argument is so strong that Rishda finally agrees. When Emeth enters, he finds not Tash but a soldier lying in wait to kill any comer. Emeth kills the soldier and throws him out of the Stable. He then finds that he is in a completely new world, and wanders the countryside until he meets Aslan. Because Emeth has always believed that Tash was the true god and Aslan was a demon, he believes that Aslan will kill him. But Aslan tells him that because the service Emeth offered to Tash was good, he was really serving Aslan because Tash cannot accept good deeds. Aslan then leaves Emeth to think this over. Several hours later, Emeth is found by Tirian, the friends of Narnia, and several Narnian dogs who are on their way to find Aslan. Emeth explains his story to the party and then journeys further up and further in with them to Aslan's country.

==Inspiration==

In Lewis' <I>The Abolition of Man</I>, he writes that the word "ěmeth" in ancient Hebrew means "truth," with alternate renderings of "faithfulness" and "permanence." Lewis says, "<I>Emeth</I> is that which does not deceive, does not 'give,' does not change, that which holds water."
