* Although not referred to by name for copyright reasons, the [[Land of Oz (Literature)|Land of Oz]] and [[Narnia]] were two of the first lands conquered by the Adversary, confirming that new Homelands were still developing at least into the twentieth century.

** By its own Canon, the "normal" Narnia ''is'' dead and gone for anyone not in Heaven, but although it was going to pot in the final book, ''[[God|Aslan]]'' was ultimately the one who decided it was time to lay his creation to rest and who started its Armaggedon. In ''Fables'', how certain is it that the Adversary personally destroyed that world, and how possible is it that he simply ''claims'' to have destroyed that world? Is this whole thing a [[Shout Out|simple nod]] to Narnia, or merely another author's [[Take That]]?

*** Honestly, it's hard to be sure it's ''actually'' Narnia. There are at least three different lions that could be Aslan -- one that gets killed in his Homeland near the beginning, one who lives on the Farm, and a third. Of course, it's possible that, since it's an Aslan, the lion who was killed in his Homeland came back to life (it's what he does, after all).

... back in Volume 2. Her [[Healing Factor]] [[Popularity Power|powered by Popularity among the Mundies]] had been keeping it at bay for a long time, but the emotional (and later, mental) stress in Volume 1 temporary overpowered it. That explains both the [[Idiot Ball]] and why she wanted a quiet "vacation" at the Farm in the first place.

Think about it: a ton of stuff happens, but most of it cancels out. {{spoiler|Mr. Dark is trapped, but gets out. Frau Totenkinder is dead, but then she's alive again. In the end, we went through all that, and we're right back where we started, only with Frau Totenkinder going into what's likely to be a [[Ten Minute Retirement]]}}.
