    Many people wonder the Emperor's body has shrivelled and decayed when the Throne is suppose to sustain it
    Well that's because he didn't have a good skincare routine, unlike you when you click this link here : thld.co/geologie_majorkill70_0123

      @A Possibly Heretical Alpha Legionnaire I should clarify that Trazyn does acknowledge that the Golden Throne is a powerful device intended for many uses, but life support isn't one of them.
      If I were to sum up Trazyn's assessment with an analogy, using the Golden Throne as life support is a lot like leaving your computer running because your room is cold. Sure, the device can indeed warm the air around it. But you're better off just buying a space heater.

    I like to think that the Golden Throne originally was neither golden or a throne, but Big E took one look at it and was like, "You know what this needs? *_Gold!"_* and then commissioned it to be festooned with gold, and then stuck a throne on top.

  • @Green815
    @Green815 Рік тому +438

    I think it would be interesting if the Golden Throne was a joint venture between the pre-Imperium Federation and the Eldar, perhaps with the intention of giving humans access to the Webway, but the work either stalled or relations soured or something horrid and grim happened and the work stopped, leaving the technology unfinished and left to rot in a vault somewhere on Terra. The Emperor, knowing about the project, tried to finish it himself without the Eldar, but couldn't quite get the details right, meaning he had to effectively fudge it with monumental psychic power.
    Since the Dark Eldar have the most knowledge about the Ancient Eldar tech, they likely still had records of the original project and its design.

    • @apossiblyhereticalalphaleg3595

      It could be that, as the cooperative effort of the Golden Throne was under way, Mankind had to deal with the Men of Iron rebellion, thus having to temporarily withdraw from the project, and by the time they returned the Eldar were already beginning their fall and could no longer help with the project as they were too busy partying.

    Deep within the Himalaysian Mountain range, unfathomable fathoms below the Imperial Palace proper, the internment chamber of The Golden Throne has been undisturbed for millennia. Yet now, there is heard the thunder of power armored boots upon the vast corridor stone and the great doors are pulled open from without. A contingency of Custodes marching fore and aft of a single figure, armored in blue and white, taller still than the Gold clad warrior attendants... The Avenging Son has come to speak with his Father, if he can. From within the oddly melodious humming of the chamber, The EMPEROR looks up from an issue of Rogue Auto Trader, slightly annoyed and immediately, convincingly, feins unconsciousness...

    The fact Big E was using it to access, override and alter the Webway says to me that it was originally either an Old Ones device, or a replica of one. The Eldar only took over the Webway, so it makes sense something of, or aping their creators tech would have more control over it than they do.

    In the book, it was heavillllly implied that many alien races were responsible for the deeper parts of the device. However, the very core is not recognized as being Aeldari; and much more organic, unknowable and older. So my money is that the very core is Old One, as the Webway is technically an invention of the Old Ones.
    While psykers are fully the ones to power the Astronomican; if I'm not mistaken in the second book of the series Vaults of Terra: The Hollow Mountain, the actual mountain that has the Astronomican has a chamber filled with psykers who are the ones that sing to it and power it. And the Astronomican is described in the book as being located quite a distance away from the Sanctum Imperialis.
    Meanwhile the actual chamber of the Imperial Dungeon itself, the Throneroom, is lined with pods to genuinely drain the life energy out of psykers to continually top up the Emperor's power. It seems the Emperor only has unlimited willpower, not unlimited power.

    Branded a heretic but far too useful to remove he may end up being the imperiums only hope.

      Might have something to do with the Emperor being one of the few beings capable of going toe to toe with the Chaos Gods, and the Dark Eldar still want Slaaneesh dead.
      Vect is also really old, and he is losing the ability to maintain his life. He has the most to gain from a fixed golden throne since Slaanesh almost has a firm grasp of his soul and it won't be long before it is yanked out of him and consumed.

And based off of the fact that this is actually a fantasy setting masquerading as a scifi, we can assume that gold is the second most valuable underneath the illusive platinum. The other primary form of currency are known as "credits," I can't find any lore on the conversion rates but -

    I think if the Golden Throne completely failed now, it wouldn't have that big of an effect.
    Sure the Guiding Light would stop for a brief moment, however now that Big E is free from his actual body he would have full reign to just bring down his full power.
    I think the Golden Throne is actually preventing Big E was doing anything hence when the Great Rift opened and Big E could pull more of his power he beat the shit out of Nurgle and lit his garden on aflame with his Holy Fire.
    I think the Dark Eldar only want to help fix the Golden Throne is because they know what/who Big E really is or rather what he has become and that the Golden Throne is the only thing keeping him from accessing his full power due to his physical body still being alive for the moment.
    I think the moment the Golden Throne fails and his physical body finally is given the chance to properly die. The whole galaxy will feel the birth of a new Warp God, born of Human Faith and Love. This will be more powerful then all the Chaos Gods combined. As Love and Faith are two of the strongest things in existence. The Sister of Battle make Miracles happen with their fervent belief in Big E. just imagine what they will be able to do once Big E has fully realized his true form.
    At least this is the theory I subscribe to as it just makes too much sense. Big E would then be able to snap the webway closed properly and then click start the Golden beacon again. The entire Sol System would be this huge burning Golden Light. I also think we would finally see Chaos undivided as they would now have to work together to even hold a candle to Big E. Big E would also probably not fall under the same pretense as the 4 Chaos Gods being able to freely manifest himself in real space or just exist in real space. As we know the Daemon King who damn near beat Tzeentch when he was at his most power. The same power that the other 3 Chaos Gods had to come together in order to shatter his Crystal Staff, as if they didn't Tzeentch would be the most powerful and could smack each of them around without trying.
    Big E would probably not be a God of Chaos but a God of Order. His Golden Might burning away Chaos. I can just imagine Him ascending into full Godhood and all 4 Chaos Gods in unison have a cold shiver go down their spines, because for the first time in their very, very, very long existence. They will now know what fear is.
    I also think that once Big E does Ascend to full Godhood, Magnus and whom ever feel any sort of remorse for their actions would be cleansed of the Daemon taint and brought back to how they were prior. This mainly being since he created them and know them inside and out on a genetic level, plus now he has the power of a God to back his knowledge. This would be the ultimate slap in the face of Chaos. He would called them the Redeemers as he has cleansed them and fully remove the Influence Chaos has put on them. I think Lorgar would be the first to get the Holy Cleansing. I think he would be the first due to Big E now being a god and Lorgar being technically right. He would seek him out show him what a he has become and offer his son a chance at redemption by cleansing his soul. If accepted Lorgar and the Word Bearers would be reformed and rebranded into something wholly new. This would also give us a chance to see Lorgar be realized for what he was truly intended for.
    Well I think that is enough gibber jabber about theories from me haha
