Deep Narnian Questions

Ok, here's another one. If the world of Terra where Narnia is happens to be flat, and it is (read the stories) how does one get to the north and south poles? And yet there are directions. Probably dependent upon the sun rising in the east no doubt. But if one can have north and south poles arbitrarily specified, why not also east and west poles? That's something you'll never find on Earth....

along those lines, how does the sun rise and set on a flat world. it can't exactly rotate like a round world. how would it rise and set. I suppose the sun moves, but what would it do once it set?

Monkshood, wolfbane, and...shoot. Oh well. It's in the Harry Potter books. Monkshood oil is poisinous, is it not?

Wolfsbane potion was the potion that prevented Lupin from losing his mind on full moons was it not?
 
okay i do have a question, though its not a funny one:
how did CS Lweis want Narnia pronounced? in the movies they say Nar-n-yuh. i always though it was Nar-knee-uh. and it drove me crazy for a while that i had to pronounce it n-yuh instead of knee-uh, until finally i realized CS never actually said how it was to be pronounced, so how did they come off saying it n-yuh instead of knee-yuh?
 
I'm bad at this sort of thing. But I think this thread needs an airing - maybe someone out there has a question. :D
 
Before new questions are asked, let me attend to old business of this thread.

Deplorable Word, the ONLY sense in which you are a moron is that we want you MORE ON this forum. And I would say so even if I had NEVER seen the LionCon photo that revealed what a spectacularly gorgeous girl you are.

As for the Narnian sun (and moon) rising and setting, I figure that there's enough empty space UNDER the flat Narnian quasi-planet that sun and moon can actually pass underneath. Perhaps, on each pass underneath, they give energy somehow to the underworld of Bizm.

And I'm sure Narnia is meant to have three distinct syllables, like the Italian town by that name.
