King of the Wood

Just something that I thought of recently not related to what we've been up to...

When Mr. Beaver describes Aslan to the four Pevensie children he refers to him as "Lord of the whole wood," and "King of the wood." No doubt this is because Narnia is a woodland, even though the rest of the Narnian world (for example Calormen) is not. This is similar to referring to God as the God of Zion, despite the fact that He is clearly not limited to a single city. 

However, Aslan is lord of another wood, the Wood Between the Worlds. Thus, Aslan is ruler of all.
