A throne is ultimately a symbol of wealth and power, like anything else used by royalty. If you want to make an extra special point about what kind of ruler you are or what your kingdom is like, one way to do it is to use the Rule of Symbolism and make your throne out of some kind of notable material that shows everyone what you're made of by showing them what you sit on. Does your land have great and coveted natural resources? Sit on a piece of it. Do you have countless beautiful slaves? Sit on a few of them. Are you a conqueror of many kingdoms? Sit on a throne made of your enemies' weapons or worse. See Cool Chair for non-royal versions of this trope. Though understandably there's still some overlap. Example |

The Inquisitor's throne in Dragon Age: Inquisition can be made from a number of materials, depending on which one the player decides to have in their keep. The base starting throne just looks like a Cool Chair with some nice padding and the Inquisition emblem. Other options include thrones made of stone, marble with gold leaf, wood, and the jaws of a dragon. | |

Discworld gives us a subversion, of course. Ankh-Morpork has a situation where the Patrician has a humble wooden desk while the great Golden Throne of Ankh-Morpork sits empty. In one novel Lord Vetinari lets Captain Carrot take a closer look at the throne he has decided not to claim - it's nothing but gold leaf over wood so rotten that it'd collapse if someone tried to sit on it. Not much of a chair, but a pretty handy metaphor for Ankh-Morpork herself. The whole thing is a subversion of the throne-room of Gondor in The Lord of the Rings, where the throne of the King has remained empty for over a millenium, and the Ruling Steward, who humbly knows his place, occupies a very plain wooden chair at the foot of the steps to the Throne. Vetinari does exactly the same, but he would take the point of view that the location and the type of ruler's seat are irrelevant. So long as he is the one sitting in it. |

In Exalted, the Scarlet Empress commissioned a throne entirely out of the many types of jade, which is flanked by animate sculptures of dragons that snap at anyone she is displeased with. The throne is so intimidating that the feckless Regent "ruling" in the Empress' absence has never dared to sit on it. | |

The Owl House: King mentions in "Echoes of the Past" that he used to have a throne made of the teeth of his enemies (which he also notes was incredibly uncomfortable to sit in) back when he was the King of Demons.

The Forgotten Realms setting has the Wyrmskull Throne, forged from the bones of four blue dragons slain by the ancient dwarven king Taark Shanat. According to legend it was built by Dumathoin, the dwarven god of mining. Supplement The Mother of All Treasure Tables. One of the treasures is a wooden throne from some kind of forest kingdom. The throne's legs are carved to look like tree roots, and a depiction of a trunk with many bare branches is carved into its back. The faces of defeated orc and giant chieftains (presumably those of the kingdom's enemies) are carved among the branches. The throne's arms are carved to look like the arms of a treant (an intelligent tree, based on the Ents in The Lord of the Rings. AD&D 1st Edition Kara-tur boxed set. The Emperor of the Shou Lung Empire sits on a throne made of twenty tons of jade. It is engraved with tiny scenes from the reign of each emperor.

In Dune Messiah, Emperor Paul Atriedes uses a throne made out of Hagar emerald. "Hagar" was probably Herbert misremembering "Hagal", and "emerald" could have been derived from "blue green quartz". In other words, this may have been the same throne Shaddam IV used—which would make sense, given that Paul married Shaddam's daughter Irulan and more or less took over Shaddam's position at swordpoint. | |

In the backstory of The Wheel of Time, a king of Cairhien named Laman decided to cut down the World Tree to make his throne. This proved a monumentally bad idea, as the race who had given the tree to his country were gravely insulted and invaded en masse to punish him. Practically the entire country was razed, and a lot of the surrounding nations as well. Seen in later books, the Forsaken Graendal is fond of decorations showing contorted in acts of carnal acrobatics. She is especially fond of a chair carved entirely with such figures. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire The Iron Throne. It's an unassuming name for a towering monstrosity made out of hundreds of unsheathed swords, the former property of defeated lords and knights, forged into a chair with the aid of dragonfire. It's uncomfortable, and because the swords were not necessarily blunted first, it's dangerous to sit on — which is entirely the point. Its creator, Aegon the Conqueror, believed a king should never sit easy on his throne and designed it as a constant reminder of that. The lesson was missed, however; both the last Targaryens and the usurper Robert Baratheon (especially the latter guy) managed to cosy themselves on that thing and forget all troubles. Which led to a pair of bloody civil wars and several regime changes in Westeros. There are many other lesser thrones in the story. The Driftwood Throne (they live on an island) and the Seastone Chair (they live on a different island). |

Magic: The Gathering: The Dragon Throne of Tarkir is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: a throne made from the skull of the dragon Kolaghan, and has belonged to the Khan of the Mardu Clan for centuries. As dragons are extinct on Tarkir, it's one of the last reminders of their existence... at least until Sarkhan Vol traveled back in time and prevented the extinction of the dragons. In the resultant new timeline, Kolaghan is very much alive, and she rules over the Clan that would've used her head as a seat. | |

Unsurprisingly given its pedigree (and name), Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon have the Iron Throne from the novels on which it's based. However, it's comprised of dozens rather than the hundreds of swords the original text described, and the blades are sheathed. It would have have been ridiculously impractical and expensive to build a prop to that scale and detail, not to mention dangerous to film with, but the resulting Iron Throne is decidedly less terrifyingly awesome and just a really Cool Chair. | |

Warhammer 40,000 In both this game and Warhammer, Khorne is a War God said to sit on a mighty brass throne atop a mountain of skulls provided by his champions - either from Worthy Opponents killed in Khorne's name, or from the champions themselves. Hence the Battle Cry "Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!" The Golden Throne of the God-Emperor of Mankind is a subversion, as it’s a colossal mechanical nightmare made of a lot more than just gold. |

The King of the One-Eyes in The Thief and the Cobbler has a huge entourage of slave women (in the original/Recobbled cuts, anyway) that the King uses as living furniture. During his introduction, the King quite literally has them assemble into a throne for him to sit upon, breaking the formation of the couch they'd been in before. | |

In the Warrior Cats series, when Tigerstar declares himself leader of both RiverClan and ShadowClan, he has his cats build him the "Bonehill" - a pile of prey bones to sit on so that when he's up there he can look down on everyone else. This is symbolic both of his villainy and his utter disregard for the warrior code- a tenet of which is about respecting prey. | |

In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Sothis manifests on a throne of plain stone slabs, which are roughly hewn but have been smoothed by the many, many centuries she's been using it. It shows players how ancient and egalitarian she is, in keeping with the "fancy throne = evil" versions of the trope. It also foreshadows her Super-Toughness- she can sleep on the thing quite comfortably, and even bangs her hands against its armrests when she's trying to make a point. | |

Fire Emblem Heroes: A Day in the Life: Deconstructed in Chapter 86. Hel's skeleton throne is not very comfortable, as she ponders to herself about how it hurts after sitting in it for an extended period of time. She even thought of replacing it with a throne of soft things, though she worries that would mar her image. | |
