	The Vaults of Terra series gave a lot more information about the Throne, as well as its current problems. Firstly, the Throne is huge. As in the whole machine is larger than most hives. It's also confirmed that the "original" throne was made with an amalgamation of technology from multiple sources, including from xenos races. The Mechanicum have also known about its impending failure for quite a while, and have tried everything in order to fix it, hence why the current fabricator General became part of the conspiracy to get the Dark Eldar to help fix it.

	So remember all that stuff about how the Ad Mech have known the throne was failing? By the time of the Gathering Storm, it turns out they'd known for almost 3 millennia that it was getting worse. Successive Fabricator Generals had tried every human method to restore it and failed. By the end of M41, the current incumbent - Oud Oudia Raskian - came to an inescapable conclusion ; the Golden Throne was only getting worse and the Imperium had no way of fixing it.

	Driven by sincere desperation, Raskian attempted more esoteric methods of fixing the Throne. He found a way to negotiate with the Dark Eldar, whose knowledge of regenerative technology and shall we say "familiarity" with some components of the Throne led to a tenuous agreement - the Mechanicus would remove the protection guarding numerous worlds and allow the Dark Eldar to take as many as they wished ; in exchange, the Dark Eldar would both help repair and provide the materials necessary to fix the Throne. Raskian then entered into conspiracy with the Head of the Astronomican and the head of the Chartist Captains to help facilitate things, along with small parts of the Inquisition.

	After this, Crowle went AWOL trying to track down the last of the conspirators, leaving his warband in disarray. The trail ultimately led to Luna, where another webway gate was being used by the Mechanicus to continue their negotiations with the Dark Eldar. Along with a squad of Custodes, Crowle gatecrashed the Fabricator General's last ditch negotiations with the Kabal, realising (due to weird blood bonding something with the previously dead Heamonculous) that the Dark Eldar weren't just getting slaves ~~in payment~~ - the components they were replacing contained genetic material from the Emperor, allowing them to create a cloned psychic reactor to power their own "Dark Throne" to shut Khaine's Gate in Commoragh. It was even suspect as to whether the replacement components would have worked. Naturally, the Imperium went apeshit finding this out and everything went sideways.

Not long after the Emprah put [[Horus]] in charge of going out and killing in his name, he went back to Terra to figure out the more administrative aspects of the Imperium of Man. This included setting the final groundwork for mankind’s access to the [[Eldar\|Elfdar]]'s portal-realm - the Webway. The project was top-secret, even the Primarchs didn't know of its existence. This along with the creation of the Council of Terra, kinda pissed-off his sons, at which point a couple of them decided the Emprah wasn't their REAL dad and threw a big hissy fit. Malcador, the Emperor's right-hand, and Rogal Dorn, Primarch of the Imperial Fists, decided to roll up on the Palace and see what the fuck was going on, wherein He received them and FINALLY spilled the beans on his ‘master plan’. Elsewhere, Magnus the Red discovered the Chaos Gods were trying their good goddamnedest to get that Horus Heresy thing going full tilt. In desperation he made use of a sorcerous ritual to warn Empy shit was going down...and that shattered the psychic shields around the Imperial Webway extension, allowing all sorts of Warp Nasties to enter with the possibility of invading Terra itself (not a good thing). This prompted the Custodes and [[Sisters of Silence]] to engage in a vicious five year battle to defend mankind’s claims in the Webway. They did a good job, but eventually had to retreat due to the grinding attrition of the endless demon-tide. The Emperor used his considerable psychic powers to manifest a blinding light that repelled the daemons, buying time for the survivors to make their way back to the Materium. He then forced the gate shut, closing humanity from the Webway, and the daemons from Terra.

	Problem was, the only way to keep the damn thing closed was to be a powerful Primarch or better in terms of psychic power to keep the daemons on the right side of that gate. So from then on, the throne went from a Psychic beacon and possible savior of mankind, to the Emperor's prison, ensuring that he'd have to sit there and keep Daemons out of his yard while Horus went about fucking things up until Malcador came back and basically begged him to get up and go deal with that, and he took his place on the throne for several days and was essentially boiled alive by psychic power after being on it...and then the Emperor came back to the Imperial Dungeon, barely clinging to life. The Techpriests and Dorn pulled him off of it, and the Emperor was returned to the throne, where he gave a quick speech, and quietly took his place back on the gold-plated toilet, and he's been there ever since for the last several thousand years.

We desperately need to get the hell out of that old meme where it redirects things.

New page

[[File:God-Emperor Goldlich.jpg|thumb|right|400px|The big man himself on the Golden Throne.]]
The Golden Throne is the giant, elaborate life-support chair and psychic amplifier where the [[God-Emperor of Mankind]]'s decaying form currently resides, deep within the bowels of the Imperial Palace, under the armed guard of the [[Adeptus Custodes]].

== Origins and the Original Purpose of the Throne ==
The core of the thing that would eventually become the Golden Throne was found by Big Daddy E during the [[Unification Wars]] waaaay back during the [[Age of Strife]], wherein he found a curious piece of tech buried in some ruins out in the middle of nowhere in what was once known as Asia, as well as it's testing bed tech called Dark Glass. He immediately went out trying to get it repaired and refurbished, and began building around the core deep within the dungeons of what eventually became the Imperial Palace, adding more and more to it until it was the big enormous gold-plated throne stuck to more cables than there are stars in the sky that would satisfy the big man himself. It's purpose? To rid man of use of the [[Warp]] for good, and to open the [[Webway]] up to the Imperium of Man.

As you're no doubt aware, the Warp is where [[Daemons]] and more importantly, the power of the [[Psyker]] comes from and the Emperor HATED that. He wanted Mankind to be completely and utterly free from the evils of Chaos, and the tempting power of the Warp...but the big issue he faced was that the Warp is also where most of his massive spaceships and his armies had to go in order to get anywhere. The solution? Use it's massive psychic amplication abilities to open a hole into the Webway, and use it to unite humanity's worlds and thrive in a Galaxy seeming designed to shred it to little bitty pieces. If he could do that, then he and whoever else in the Mechanicus could isolate the gene in the human genome that allows connection to the Warp, isolate it, then either gene therapy it out of the species or blam those who resisted, and finally get Humanity away from the powers of the Dark Gods. Sure, there was a minor problem in that it needed a really, like...''really powerful'' psyker to actually make that feasible, but hey! He had at least a couple of Primarchs kicking around who could probably fill that role! It's all good!

== So what happened to that? ==
In short, [[Horus Heresy|Horus Happened]], and [[Magnus The Red|Magnus fucked up at the worst possible time.]]

In long, after the Emprah put [[Horus]] in charge of going out and killing in his name, he went back to Terra to go figure out the more administrative side of the Imperium of Man, including working on setting the final groundworks for man to make their digging into the [[Eldar|Elfdar]]'s portal-realm a reality worth undertaking.

The Emperor used his considerable psychic power to make a blinding light that the Daemons didn't want to go close to, and was able to get everyone through the gate back into the Materium, and then locked the gate shut with his incredible powers.

The Techpriests and Dorn pulled him off of it, and the Emperor was returned to the throne, where he gave a quick speech, and quietly took his place back on the gold-plated toilet, and he's been there ever since for the last several thousand years.

== Post-Heresy: The Imperium's Golden Life Support System ==
[[File:Golden Throne-Imperial Webway.jpg|thumb|left|400px|The Emperor seconds before realizing he'd just played himself by sitting in this damn thing.]]
Nowadays, the Throne maintains a lot of things vital to the Imperium's continued survival: The [[Astronomicon]], The psychic lock on the abandoned section of the Imperial Webway, and prolonging the life of the Emperor of Mankind, now only a half-dead corpse. The throne's rapid changes and modifications have caused a lot of unintended consequences: Namely the need for a constant sacrifice of Psykers, which facilitated the creation of the [[Black Ships]]. And even then, the Techpriests that maintained the throne found that the usual sacrifice of psykers wasn't cutting it in 36M, and they shot the number up by four times the usual amount, forcing the ships to go looking for even more psykers than they normally did; making a dangerous job considerably even more dangerous.

Further, after one of many of Failbaddon's Black Crusades, it was discovered that the Throne had some...problems. Namely, a lot of the technology that kept the thing working were starting to fail, and the Techpriests and Mechanicus at large can't fix any of them which is...bad. As for how bad? It's got several Mechanicus Cults going around trying to find ways to fix it or come up with a contingency for the eventuality of if/when this thing goes out. As for what happens? Well...Nobody's really sure. It's discussed at length over on [[God-Emperor of Mankind##On the Death of the Emperor| Big E's page,]] but a commonality is obvious: Something BAD will happen. And in the Indomitus era, where the Custodes have decided that they're actually gonna go out and do shit for once, they decided that the best solution is to just fix the damn thing, and are looking towards going to specific lost Forge Worlds in order to find what they need. As for whether or not they succeed? That's [[Advancing the Storyline]], my man. We'll probably find out in 10th edition.
