Editing Charn (section)

==The waking of Jadis==
The spell that bound Jadis was broken by [[Digory Kirke]]. He and [[Polly Plummer]] had arrived on Charn via the [[Wood between the Worlds]], and they had explored the deserted royal palace. In the room where Jadis slumbered with life-sized images of her royal ancestors, Kirke succumbed to temptation after having read a verse:

<blockquote>Make your choice, adventurous Stranger;<br />Strike the bell and bide the danger,<br />Or wonder, till it drives you mad,<br />What would have followed if you had.</blockquote>

Charn's star is described as [[Red giant|red, large, and cold]].  When Digory asks Jadis about the star's appearance, she asks him about his world's Sun. When informed that [[Sun|the Sun]] is [[G-type main-sequence star|yellow, brighter, smaller, and "gives off a good deal more heat,"]] she remarks with sudden interest, "Ah, so yours is a younger world."

Charn and the realm in which it resided ceased to exist entirely after Jadis and the children left.  Later, when [[Aslan]] and the children are in the [[Wood between the Worlds]], Aslan shows them that the puddle leading to Charn is dried up, as the empty world has been destroyed.  Jadis entered Narnia with the humans from Earth, and 900 years later appears as the [[White Witch]] in ''[[The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe]]'', ruling that land for 100 years until Aslan returned and defeated her with the aid of the four Pevensie children.<ref>{{cite book|last=Sammons |first=Martha C. |title=A Guide Through Narnia |url=https://archive.org/details/guidethroughnarn00samm |url-access=registration |pages=[https://archive.org/details/guidethroughnarn00samm/page/110 110–111]|year=1979 |publisher=Harold Shaw Publishers |location=Wheaton, Illinois |ISBN=0-87788-325-4}}</ref>
