Alambil

In the Chronicles of Narnia, Alambil is one of two celestial bodies (the other of which is Tarva), whose meeting in the night sky is shown to Caspian X shortly before he flees the castle of King Miraz.

The two stars can be seen at the beginning of "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" film passing each other in the sky.

The book, "Prince Caspian", offers two apparently contradictory descriptions of the nature of these celestial bodies, firstly they are described as being planets, then later they are described as being stars:

Page 43:

" "Tonight I am going to give you a lesson in astronomy. At dead of night, two noble planets, Tarva and Alambil, will pass within one degree of each other"

Page 45:

"There was no difficulty in picking out the two stars they had come to see. They hung rather low in the southern sky, almost as bright as two little moons and very close together.

"Are they going to have a collision?" He asked in an awe struck voice"

"Nay, dear Prince," said the Doctor (and he too spoke in a whisper). "The great lords of the upper sky know the steps of their dance too well for that. Look well upon them, their meeting is fortunate and means some great good for the sad realm of Narnia. Tarva the Lord of Victory salutes Alambil the Lady of Peace""
