Descroption
"The Malachite Throne known also as the Fiend-Seeing Throne, it was well named for it could open a portal to the very Hells themselves. Those who sat upon it were invulnerable to harm and gifted with true sight. However, use of such powers often came at the cost of the wielder’s sanity, as the ruinous reigns of the four overkings that sat upon it after Ivid I so clearly demonstrated.
The tale of the Malachite Throne’s origins is widely discussed among the learned. Led by fiendish allies, Ivid discovered a place of surpassing evil known as the Cauldron of Night. In its midst there stood a huge block of green malachite. Over the next three years, a coven of mage-artificers and priests of Hextor worked on the block, shaping it into a mighty throne and drawing upon the malign eldritch energies of the Cauldron to imbue it with its terrible powers. Their work completed, Ivid’s servants bore the new-made artifact out of the Cauldron to begin its long procession to Rauxes. It is said that its first port of call was the ancient metropolis of Rel Astra, where the sight of it before the walls with Ivid seated upon it was enough to secure the city’s surrender and the defection of the House of Garesteth.
Though the tale of the making of the throne is known to many, the location of the Cauldron of Night remains a closely guarded secret to all but a bare handful of the most wicked and the most wise. Of those, the majority vanished along with the throne itself in the fall of Rauxes. The few that remain guard their secret close."Looby, Paul. The Cauldron of Night. Wizxards.com. WotC, 27 May 2008.
