Emerald Throne
The Emerald Throne was the first throne of the Empire of Rokugan. It served as a physical symbol of the might and glory of the Hantei Emperors and the Empire overall. The throne itself was crafted out of a single large emerald for the first Hantei and served as the throne for every Hantei Emperor thereafter until the Hantei Dynasty's demise in 1128.
Abilities[]
The Emerald Throne was carved by the greatest Crane and Otomo artisans. Anyone who had been attuned to the throne increased his intelligence, awareness. perception and willpower, a process which was set by sitting upon the throne for a mere four hours a day for one month, as any Emperor did since the nemuranai was crafted. The artisans guaranteed their work as the throne was strong and whole. [1]
Scorpion Coup[]
Bayushi Shoju cleaving the throne
The Emerald Throne was damaged during the Scorpion Coup, when during a duel with Lion Clan Champion Akodo Toturi, Bayushi Shoju accidentally drove his sword into the throne, [2] leaving a huge gash from the top to the back to the solid emerald seat. The carving that showed the sun goddess and the first Emperor were separated by the fissure. [3]
Day of Thunder[]
In the Second Day of Thunder the throne was used as a weapon when Isawa Tadaka magically raised it and was thrown over Fu Leng. [4]
Replaced[]
When the Clan War ended and Toturi became Emperor, he ordered a new throne be crafted from jade.
