Ashtakara

The Ashtakara is the ceremonial stool of Lupa Mar. This chair, which weighs over 100 pounds and is made of solid gold, is used by the Uzali queens during important ceremonies. It is so important that even royalty will not sit on the Ashtakara except during the performance of a ritual. Otherwise, the stool rests on a cushion next to the throne, to indicate its importance.
Recently, Uzali Queen Kinah Amba has taken to holding court while sitting on the Ashtakara. This behavior is unheard of, and there is a great deal of speculation as to why she would do such a thing. Some see the hand of legendary Uzali queens of the past at work, while others believe that Amba is in the throes of megalomania.
