[[File:3778.jpg|left]]In the company of the other six lords whom Miraz sent exploring, Lord Mavramorn sails to the Lone Islands (where [[Lord Bern]] settles), then to Dragon Island (where [[Lord Octesian]] remains behind), then to Deathwater Island (where [[Lord Restimar]] meets his fate), then to the Dark Island (where [[Lord Rhoop]] is left behind), and then on to uncharted seas. The original company that set out has dwindled and Mavramorn is left with only two other Lords, [[Lord Argoz|Argoz]] and [[Lord Revilian|Revilian]]. Upon their arrival at Ramandu's Island, the three lords begin arguing over what course they should take next. The first lord says that Ramandu's Island is a good place and they should stay there. The second lord thinks that they should sail west back to Narnia because [[Miraz]] might be dead. The third lord believes they should continue to seek adventure by sailing east. The argument becomes so heated that one of the three seizes a knife sitting on the table to threaten his friends. But the knife was the same knife the [[White Witch]] had used to kill [[Aslan]], and because it was forbidden to touch, the three lords instantly fall fast asleep. There they sleep until [[Caspian]] and the rest of the crew aboard the Dawn Treader arrive and find them. The three lords do not wake until [[Caspian]] and the others sail to the end of the world, leave [[Reepicheep]] behind to go on, and then return to the island to break the spell. | [[File:3778.jpg|left]]In the company of the other six lords whom Miraz sent exploring, Lord Mavramorn sails to the Lone Islands (where [[Lord Bern]] settles), then to Dragon Island (where [[Lord Octesian]] remains behind), then to Deathwater Island (where [[Lord Restimar]] meets his fate), then to the Dark Island (where [[Lord Rhoop]] is left behind), and then on to uncharted seas.

| + | ==About Lord Mavramorn== | ||
| + | At one time Mavramorn was a respected Narnian lord whose loyalty to Caspian the Ninth worried [[Miraz]] enough to send him and his companions to sea. Though Lewis does not specify which of the three lords said what in the argument that led to their enchanted sleep, Mavramorn was one of their number and must have been emotionally and physically spent after the long sea voyage. He had lost four of his companions on the journey, and the future was full of uncertainty, no matter what course they chose. Given the situation, it is understandable that Mavramorn and his companions would fall into an argument — and it is perhaps these extenuating circumstances that made the punishment a mere enchanted sleep rather than death. | ||
