The "Golden Throne" is a prominent symbol in the fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000. It serves as the life-support system and seat of power for the God-Emperor of Mankind, who is revered as a divine figure by humanity. The throne is located on Terra, the home planet of humanity, and is essential for the Emperor's survival, as he is kept in a state of near-death. Constructed from advanced technology and adorned with gold, the Golden Throne is not only a physical seat but also a powerful psychic device. It enables the Emperor to guide humanity through the Astronomican, a psychic beacon that helps navigate space travel. The throne's significance extends beyond its function, representing the unity and strength of the Imperium of Man.
