Place in the books
An alternate name / framing for the terror associated with Dark Island, emphasizing the place as a realm of realized nightmares. Lewis uses places like this to make Narnia feel inhabited, not sketched in at the edges. Even when the page count is limited, the setting helps Narnia feel like a real country with memory, movement, and consequence.
It also connects nearby characters, journeys, and political pressures instead of sitting on the page as a disconnected name.
