Its real and in the safe keeping of my name sake! The Chamberlain.
or so they say......The throne as you can read in earlier postings, borders on legend.
I think as a GM its up to you to decide.The Anuirean Empire will rise again........

Just like the Thorn Throne in Tuarhievel, the Thousand Jewel Throne in Ariya, etc... They give the name to the thrones mostly as a symbol of the respect that comes with the position of ruler of such an important state.

Let me just say that I'm a happier person knowing that Birthright has brought you two closer together.
"We shall all stand united before the Iron Trone....blah, blah, blah,.." add your favorite political message hear. Wait for applause to finish, and bid your audience their God's particular blessings.
Anyway, I was going to say that the image the Iron Throne gives me is related to something out of Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time," in that the Crown of Swords was made with very small swords put inside the "ring" of the crown. So if you just sort of shoved it on your head you'd cut yourself. To me it's symbolic of the proper use of power; if you abuse it, you'll get yours in the end. The Iron Throne on the other hand has more of an indomitable symbolism. That the nature of the Emperor and his power is the strength of the mountain. However, if the Emperor pushes to hard he'll find himself buried underneath that same mountain.Arlen Blaede-Blademaster

Martin's Game of Thrones/ Clash of Kings/ Storm of Swords series has another interesting Iron Throne.
The throne of the Seven Kingdoms is forged from the swords of the lords conqured during the forging of the realm. It's a bitch to sit in - its uncomfortable and if you're not careful you'll cut yourself.
Did Roele do something similar when he created the Anuirean Empire? Perhaps this throne still exists today, or perhaps some decadent Emperor had it replaced?

No, there is a reference somewhere that indicates the Chamberlain has it. Although it may come from the book "Iron Throne"!
