The Throne of Fire is an ancient artifact, crafted by the Primordial Ra following the defeat of his brother, Ouranos, at the dawn of the Golden Age. For millennia, the Throne of Fire has sat within the throne room at the center of the Palace of the Sun, upon a great dais that looks down upon the entire chamber. It is the most potent symbol of the Pharaoh's power within the Kem-Duati pantheon, being the seat of Kemara's ruler.

## History

The Throne of Fire was first created by Ra as the Golden Age began, to serve as a symbol of his power and one day be the seat from which all Creation was ruled. The Throne has remained in the throne room of the Palace of the Sun, never once having been moved. Oaths of allegiance uncounted have been sworn before it, with "swearing by the Throne of Fire" making vows binding.

The Throne has been sat upon by four Pharaohs. First was Ra, its creator. Next came his grandson Osiris, who was usurped by his brother Set. Set in turn was then deposed by Horus, Osiris's son, and it is he who has ruled ever since.

## Description

The Throne of Fire is a wide, low backed chair composed of gold, red, and white flames. Its back is designed to resemble bird wings, while its arms are shaped like the heads of falcons. The feet of the Throne are also shaped like falcon claws, each grasping the sphere of a burning sun. Naturally, the Throne constantly emits bright light, which can be intensified or diminished by whoever is sitting within it.

## Powers

As an artifact created by one of the seven Primordials, the Throne of Fire is possessed of several magical traits. The first is that any being not of Ra's bloodline will be instantly incinerated upon touching it. Mortals will be atomized merely stepping foot upon the steps leading up to it, while gods are slain by directly touching the throne itself. Ra and his descendants, however, are immune from this effect, being able to sit upon its burning form without harm. This includes Ra's godly descendants, such as his daughter Nut, his grandson Osiris, or his great-grandson, Horus. Halfborn descended from those gods are also unharmed by the throne's flames.

Another power of the Throne is that it sanctifies any vows sworn upon it. Should any being phrase an oath with the phrase "by the Throne of Fire", no matter where they are in Creation, they will be mystically bound to keep that oath. If they attempt to violate it, the Throne shall strike them down, engulfing them in a column of fire that reduces them to ash.

It is also impossible to lie in the Throne's presence. Should any being within the light of the Throne tell a falsehood, the lie will still emerge, fully audible, but shall be accompanied by a burst of flame which emerges from the throat and out the mouth. For anyone except a god, this is usually fatal.

Additionally, whilst sitting upon the Throne of Fire, it is possible to psychically command the ships of the Solar Fleet.

The light of the Throne can also be controlled by whoever sits within it, allowing it to be dimmed or brightened.
