==About Rilian==
Rilian is a brave and honorable knight whose chivalry toward women is his defining attribute, but also his most vulnerable point. Out of devotion to [[Ramandu's Daughter|his mother]] he dedicates himself to avenging her death, and as he attempts this he is lured into dangerous enchantment by [[the Lady of the Green Kirtle]]. He is then imprisoned in the Underland for ten years, during which he has only one hour a day in which he knows his true self. The rest of the time he spends as the witless and enchanted “pawn” of the powerful [[the Lady of the Green Kirtle|Queen of the Underland]], who is using him to gain control of Narnia. Even after the [[the Lady of the Green Kirtle|Witch]] has tried to kill them and they have vanquished her, Rilian says, "Yet I am glad, gentlemen, that the foul [[the Lady of the Green Kirtle|Witch]] took to her serpent form at the last. It would not have suited well either with my heart or with my honor to have slain a woman." Rilian displays true courage as they make their escape from the Underland, and his adventurous spirit is stirred by a glimpse of the land of Bism below Underland. He wishes to travel there, but he follows his duty of returning to his ailing father [[Caspian]].
