Aslan's How

In C. S. Lewis's fantasy novel series the Chronicles of Narnia, the hill of the Stone Table, or Aslan's How, is a high mound or cairn south of the Great River in Narnia next to the Great Woods. The How was built over the hill of the Stone Table. The word how derives from the Old Norse haugr, meaning hill or mound. In parts of England, it is a synonym for barrow.

At some point during the absence of the Pevensie children, a barrow was raised over the remains of the broken Stone Table. Who built the mound, or why, is not explained by Lewis. It is possible that this action was undertaken by the superstitious Telmarines, who feared and despised anything to do with Old Narnia. Another possibility is that the Old Narnians themselves wished to protect the Stone Table fragments from desecration by hiding them from their enemies.

The runaway Prince Caspian flees into the forest from his evil uncle, King Miraz, and finds a host of good creatures and animals. When word gets out that the King's army is out to capture the Prince, he and his friends take cover inside Aslan's How. The How proves to be a reliable fortress. Miraz's army surrounds the mound and is fought off when the four Pevensies and Aslan return to Narnia.

Aslan's How is only mentioned once more in The Horse and His Boy.

In the Chronicles of Narnia film series, the place is shown in various ways:

In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, the Stone Table is the sacred place where Aslan is killed by Jadis, the White Witch. Around the edges of the table is writing, possibly Narnian, and extremely old. In the movie, Edmund Pevensie had committed a sin against his siblings by telling Jadis about them on the premise that he would be king of Narnia. However, Jadis throws him in prison and he is later rescued by Aslan's army. The White Witch then travels to Aslan's camp where she states that the "blood of any traitor is" hers. She and Aslan have a private parlay and it is later revealed that Aslan has saved Edmund by offering himself to Jadis.

That night, Aslan, along with Susan and Lucy, travel to the Stone Table. Aslan tells the girls to turn and go back, not telling them what was about to happen. However the girls disobey and watch as Aslan is tied, his mane cut off, and he is bound to the Stone Table. Jadis then gives a speech and stabs Aslan, killing him with Susan and Lucy looking on from the woods.
